Uji VS Kagoshima
Both Uji Matcha and Kagoshima are considered the best areas in Japan and in the world for Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder and other matcha tea cultivation. Kagoshima is the 2nd biggest green tea-producing area in Japan after Shizuoka. It’s a region with a lot of mountains and volcanoes. The soil in Kagoshima is extremely high in dense volcanic ash which gives the soil here its live preserving properties and its amazing fertility. Being in the south of the country it has a subtropical climate with a lot of rainfall. This makes it perfect for farming and agriculture. Kagoshima is not only one of the best places where Matcha Green Tea grows but also a lot of other produce. When most people think of Ceremonial Matcha they think of Uji Matcha and rightly so however after our extensive research, we found in a lot of Uji Tea that there is still some astringency even in the highest grade matcha. Our premium Ceremonial matcha tea powder has absolutely no astringency or bitterness.
