Understanding Our Matcha

While this matcha is grown sustainably and holds official JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) organic certification, it cannot be formally labeled as “EU Organic” on our website just yet.

The JAS standard shares an organic equivalence with the European Union, meaning the farming practices are identical in strictness, but the final EU registration is still being processed.

You can rest assured you are receiving a cleanly cultivated, pesticide-free product, even if the official European seal is pending.

When it comes to the processing, there is a common misconception that stone-ground matcha is inherently superior.

In reality, traditional stone mills are highly inefficient and produce an irregular particle size; their appeal is primarily historical and used for marketing.

For modern applications, mechanical mills are actually superior because they produce a far more consistent particle size, ensuring a smoother, higher-quality blend that dissolves perfectly.
