Sun Goddess Matcha
Pique Sun Goddess is the industry leader for purity, being the first matcha to be quadruple toxin-screened for heavy metals, pesticides, toxic mold, and radioactive isotopes. It is sourced from a 130-year-old tea farm in Kagoshima and is 100% organic and ceremonial grade.
Ingredients & Purity
100% organic ceremonial grade matcha from Kagoshima, Japan. High l-theanine content due to extended shading periods before harvest.
Scientific Evidence
Undergoes third-party testing for 20+ types of toxic mold and mycotoxins, as well as heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury).
Brand Transparency
Pique is exceptionally vocal about their screening protocols and provides clear sourcing information regarding their partnership with Japanese master blenders.
Value Assessment
At roughly $2.07 per serving, it is a premium product. The value lies in the safety profile for daily drinkers concerned with heavy metal accumulation.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike bulk brands like Jade Leaf or Encha, Pique provides specific screening for mycotoxins (mold), which is a common contaminant in fermented or dried teas that many competitors ignore. Their cold-crystallization process also preserves more l-theanine compared to high-heat industrial grinding.
