The Path of Zen: Over 800 years ago a young Buddhist priest by the name Myoan Eisai left his native Japan on a spiritual journey for greater awareness and knowledge. Eisai returned to Japan with a new found philosophy called Chan and some unique tea seeds. Using the Chan philosophy Myoan Eisai created the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism in Japan and became Zen Master Eisai. The special tea seeds were given to a learned Buddhist priest name Myoe Shonin to plant on the grounds of a temple near Kyoto. These special tea leaves made a green tea powder call matcha. The Buddhist monks found that matcha had exceptional health and spiritual qualities and used this tea to increase focus and chi energy for Zen meditation. The Uji Way (Ujido): During this time, Master Myoe discovered a sacred location with the perfect climate and soil to grow superior matcha. This place was called Uji, located in the beautiful pristine hills of rural southern Kyoto. Soon Uji gained the reputation of producing the highest quality matcha in all of Japan and is used by the royal family and emperors of Japan. Today Uji-grown matcha is known as the highest quality, radiation free matcha in the world and is sought after by matcha enthusiasts far and wide.
