The ad clearly states "Our Organic Matcha, both Culinary and Ceremonial are now sourced directly from Japan." NOT CHINA anymore (as indicated in the first of 28 answers above).

This product has not been modified. It is 100% USDA Organic. It has to be 100% GMO-FREE in order to be USDA Certified Organic. The DNA is in the name because research shows that Matcha Green Tea can support DNA repair.

Its 100% organic matcha powder. It doesn't specifiy the actual amt per serving but ingredient says 100% so I'm assuming 100% in each serving. Hope this helps.

Our organic Matcha is made of 100% pure powdered green tea. No fillers, no by-products or additives whatsoever. Our recommendation per serving is 1/2 to 1 teaspoon. But for others, 1/4 tsp does the trick, especially when they want little, to no taste of Matcha in their food or smoothie.What other details do you need? Let us know and we'll try to get back to you with as much answers as we can provide.Warmest regards, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

I agree with the other responses. High quality organic full cream powdered milk is hard to find. I have tried other brands, but they just don't "measure up." I used to use the NIDO brand from Holland (others are from China, and the U.S versions have not been consistent) shipped via England. But, it is difficult to get now. I will gladly pay the extra money for this New Zealand brand. My whole family loves it. We use for coffee, hot chocolate & camping trips, travel and baking. Excellent product!! I will keep ordering as long as it is available.

I'm not sure that I understand your question... This is wheatgrass, not matcha tea.

This is one of the highest qualities. The taste is great! My favorite brand of Matcha.

This is not the finest tea ceremony grade. It is more for making matcha lattes. I don't know officially what the grade is. It is very high quality, though, a nice bright green and makes delicious lattes. I use about one teaspoon, whisk it with the chasen whisk in a small amount of soy milk, add sugar, ice and a pinch of salt. Then fill the rest of the glass with soy milk.

Better. It mixes creamy and rich. Not grainy or sugary at all. I've been drinking this in Australia for years. I travel to London to stock up. I'm a fight attendant so it's not as exotic as it sounds. .

Hi Veronique, Our Matcha powder is from China. We did a significant amount of research beforehand and we found a couple things about Matcha and Matcha drinkers. 1) Is that the price of ceremonial grade Matcha makes every day consumption very expensive and thus prohibitive 2) The radiation in Japan is still a real concern, especially for teas that are consumed through ingesting the whole leaf, of which Matcha is made. We visited and received samples from dozens of farms in China, had them tested for purity and chose the one with the best results. Our goal was to offer a culinary grade Matcha that can be used everyday, is high in antioxidants and will not drain your monthly budget. :) We hope you will try us out for yourself. Thanks again for your interest and if you need anything else, please feel free to contact us via Amazon or through our website's contact form anytime. Best Regards, Anthony KissMeOrganics.com

http://www.green-tea-guide.com/pesticides-in-green-tea.html ....read this article, it'll open your eyes as to how fraught with pesticides and lead Chinese matcha is compared to Japanese matcha... even the organic label doesn't make much of a difference... I've drank Davidson's matcha for quite some time but at this point I'd rather be safe than sorry

It is whole soybeans (organic), a bit of toasted barley flour which gives it a smoother texture, sea salt and a bit of somethig I don't know much about but think it is a minute amount of seaweed extract (amount is miniscule) and that's it. Like most miso, it is salty so if you are on a salt restricted diet, it might not be good. If you can get the flat strips of unsalted seaweed to float a piece or two on the soup, I think it improves flavor. That's the way Japanese use it.

the package does not list other ingredients, saying only that it contains organically grown and handpicked matcha green tea. I have had trouble drinking it, the taste is a bit strange compared to other matcha teas I have had, but they were flavored with other ingredients. I just assumed I was making my tea too strong, but have not yet tried it with less powder b/c the tea upset my stomach. I don't know if it is the product or my ignorance of the proper way to use the product.

I think it's pure and it is certified organic. It is clear and has no color.

The taste is much smoother. This tea is harvested in the spring and intended to be consumed in a tea ceremony, prepared the traditional way. The 2nd harvest, harvested in August, is not intended for use in tea ceremony. It's more often used in different ways (like added to smoothies). For years I drank 2nd harvest as one would in tea ceremony, but after tasting the ceremonial grade, I haven't gone back. If you enjoy 2nd harvest, save money and stay with it. If you have money to spare, buy ceremonial grade and enjoy.

I use for the same and I tend to bounce between the 3: universal, culinary, and ceremonial. I think ceremonial is the least bitter but im guessing all 3 are just fine for health. and when looking into green tea originally I was worried about radiation from fukishima so I stayed away from a lot of other brands. but who really knows tbh. We have a large Asian community nearby cause I live near a SUNY college and I noticed it last time I was in the Asian grocery store. I didn't really see any others so im fairly confident with the quality....still not completely convinced about the radiation thing though.
