Ingredients & Purity

Single-origin, JAS-certified organic. Stone-ground in small batches to prevent oxidation.

Scientific Evidence

Regularly tested for radiation (post-Fukushima protocol) and heavy metals. Sourcing is verified via direct-trade documentation.

Brand Transparency

Mizuba provides extensive details on the specific farm and the history of their producers in Uji, which is rare for brands at this price point.

Value Assessment

Excellent value for true ceremonial grade. At $25 per 40g tin, it provides a superior flavor profile (umami-rich, no bitterness) compared to similarly priced 'wellness' brands.

Why Not Alternatives?

Many competitors use 'Uji' as a generic marketing term for blends; Mizuba is one of the few that maintains a direct-trade relationship with a single farm, ensuring consistent terroir and quality that exceeds mass-market brands like Matcha Love.
