Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha
Jade Leaf is the gold standard for accessible, high-transparency matcha. While it is a blend of several farms rather than single-origin, they provide a unique 'transparency report' for every single batch via a QR code.
Quality & Materials
100% organic ceremonial grade. Sourced from a network of family farms in the Uji and Kagoshima regions.
Evidence & Testing
Third-party lab tests for pesticides, heavy metals, and radiation are accessible for every tin sold.
Brand Transparency
Industry-leading batch-tracking system. Users can enter the lot number on their website to see the specific lab results for that tin.
Value Assessment
The best 'entry-level' ceremonial matcha. It is widely available and priced competitively for those who want a clean product without a 'connoisseur' price tag.
Why Not Alternatives?
While it lacks the depth of flavor found in Mizuba or the extreme toxin screening of Pique, Jade Leaf beats almost all grocery store brands by providing public COAs (Certificates of Analysis) for every batch.
