Limited Time Flash Sale
The Legacy of Uji: The Shōgun's First Harvest “Samidori Superior Blend “
Experience peak Japanese tea craft with Shōgun Matcha's First Harvest Samidori Blend.
Our matcha is cultivated in an exclusive partnership with a prestigious 300-year-old family farm, masters of their craft and former winners of the prestigious Kansai Tea Award. This blend honors the "Samidori" cultivar, renowned for its high quality and depth.
As a true ichiban-cha (first harvest), only the youngest, most tender leaves are hand-plucked in early spring. They are then meticulously stone-milled in the traditional way, a slow and deliberate process that creates an impossibly fine powder and preserves its full spectrum of nutrients and flavor.
The result is a matcha of profound quality. It whisks into a vibrant, a warm emerald green color , releasing a subtle, floral aroma. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth, revealing a deep, sweet umami foundation that gives way to balanced notes of mild nuttiness.
This is the standard of excellence, reserved for the true connoisseur.

I’ve been a matcha drinker for years, but Shōgun Matcha takes it to a whole new level. From the moment I opened the tin, the vibrant green color was a clear indicator of its top-tier quality. The taste is unlike any other – it’s creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced with sweet floral notes and just the right amount of earthy richness. The umami flavor lingers beautifully, and every sip feels like an ancient ritual. Sourced from the prestigious Uji farms in Kyoto, this matcha has such an authentic, rich flavor that no other brand can match. Whether I enjoy it straight or as a latte, it’s an invigorating experience every time. A must-try for anyone serious about matcha!
