High in the Uji Mountains, Green Tea is shade-grown in ancient terraced fields, then stone-ground to preserve vital compounds and maximize its delicate flavor.Known as “the elixir of immortality” for its profound health-enhancing effects, Matcha is unique among green tea and is prized by Zen monks for its ability to instill a sense of calm, focused energy. Drinking this tonic illuminates the translucent jade Buddha living within.
