You will want to contact the seller, but I believe the product is certified by the Japan board of Organics. You can never know for sure, but Japanese culture is very honest and only approves safe additives, unlike the Chinese Government.

You conduct research by doing a search on google as follows, " Is tea grown near Fukushima?" . You learn very interesting details on the subject. Tea only grows in specifics climates and tempetures. Fukushima is to cold to grow tea. Also it'll help you to look at a map of Japan. Itll give you a visual perspective on where in Japan tea growers cultivate tea. Most have cultivate tea in those same regions for hundreds of years. There are three main place in Japan where tea in grown. Shizuoka, Kagoushima, and Uji are the most vommon places. Kagoushima for example in located on one of the Japanese islands over a thousand miles away. I couldnt for the life of me find the company website though, however i do know tea isnt grown in or around Fukushima. Continue researching on where tea is grown in Japan, along with some of the locations ive provided. And if its intrigues you then why not research where tea is grown around the world. Its pretty cool if you love tea that much and where all you foods are grown and its content. Good luck on your shopping decision making. I honestly i have no complaints on this product.

you use a black light to detect e-coli bacteria. If e-coli is present it will be luminescent. That is what I was testing for and it tested positive. I didn't add anything.

I am thinking with bleach ... like those clorox wipes ... destroy any chance of trace evidence - er, if that is necessary

Perhaps test it on a similar piece of cloth to see the results. even an untreated cloth would yield results to compare.

1000 Bq/Kg is a huge dose of radiation!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbX9ubE_hI - in here you can see that this tea contains twice as normal amount of radiation.http://enenews.com/radioactive-tea-leaves-1000-km-fukushima-80-bqkg-detected-kagoshimaIn here it shows that all Japan is contaminated - far or close. So in a way, Chinese powder might even be healthier. Rather than consuming the most toxic radioactive material. Keep in mind, there are around 98 radioactive particles coming out from the Fukushima plant, and its on-going for the next 40-80 years at least. The half life is 2 and 31 years of cesium alone (which already exceeds the limits). If I am not mistaken the US limit is 10Bq/kg, in japan its been set to 200bq/kg. 1000 Bq/Kg is a huge dose of radiation!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbX9ubE_hI - in here you can see that this tea contains twice as normal amount of radiation.http://enenews.com/radioactive-tea-leaves-1000-km-fukushima-80-bqkg-detected-kagoshimaIn here it shows that all Japan is contaminated - far or close.

I have not noticed any crazing on my Mikasa Italian Countryside. I do use the microwave. Good luck.

I've never had Matcha. Try nuts,com. They sell bulk Matcha instant tea I think. I mix mine with crystal light and drink it for work out benefits. Sorry I couldn't help you.

I didn't see any indiction of where they get their Fucoidan. It's probably best to write to their customer service. I do get the best lift out of this product. Perhaps it's from radiation:).

Depending on the use and how much matcha poured. I think maybe 60 cups. This with the bamboo spoon which is very little amount (Just one bamboo spoon)...

Is it possible that you have left a plastic shipping collar on your teapot that is supposed to be removed after you receive it?

I agree with the others that you may get a glimpse of it; it's inside the appliance. I don't believe it's exposing me to any UV light. It's the light on the front control panel that is BRIGHT (and why I covered it with black tape/paper so I can sleep)

just tape it in the freezer, it will last longer, and if there is radiation it will register just as well.

These bonito flakes might usually be pet food to us, but they are people food (soup base) to Japanese. I doubt that they are checked for radiation, because tuna come from deep ocean water where radiation is not a real issue. However, all tuna is seriously checked for disease by experts. I regularly eat raw tuna cleared by Japanese chefs in California and Hawaii, and have never had any adverse health effect.

Radiation detectors only pickup decaying particles close by. You would need to be close to Fukushima area to detect anything serious. Unless you're going to Japan I would suggest something reliable and inexpensive like the www.amazon.com/International-Medcom-CRM-100-Digital-Radiation/dp/B006C4ZTEK .

LOL, I know it can be frustrating, but I don't think you're missing anything. Older stains will be very difficult to spot, even with a blacklight, and many stains will show up much further away from the "epicenter" than you might think. Be sure to also check walls in the are you suspect as well. I was surprised at just how much "biological" I had found on the walls in the area I was suspecting was on the floor. Older stains won't illuminate brightly, making you question what you are seeing. Be sure to keep it as dark as possible, and at night. Also, use a sweeping motion, slowly moving from right to left. It takes a bit to get used to using it, and to identify what it is you are seeing, if anything. Hope that helped. :)
