Certification & Laboratory Testing

Our philosophy is simple: safety and transparency. Every batch of matcha undergoes independent testing (pesticides, heavy metals, microbiology incl. E. coli, yeasts and moulds, and PAHs). For key product lines, the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH/SZÚ) issues a Health Safety Certificate.

Why We Test Every Batch

Matcha is consumed whole (not just as an infusion), hence rigorous control is essential. We maintain batch protocols for fast retrieval and audit readiness.

🔬

Pesticides

Multiresidue screening for a wide spectrum of substances in compliance with EU limits.

LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS

⚖️

Heavy Metals

Testing for lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic for toxicological safety.

ICP-MS

🧫

Microbiology

E. coli, yeasts and moulds, total plate count for hygienic safety.

Accredited methods

♻️

PAHs

Targeted determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with long-term monitoring.

Targeted analysis

Our Control Process

From sample collection in Japan to batch release for sale.

Sampling & Sealing

Directly in Japan with full traceability of origin.

Independent Testing

Accredited laboratories perform complete analysis (pesticides, heavy metals, microbiology, PAHs).

Internal Verification

Comparison with EU limits and sensory evaluation (colour, aroma, taste, texture).

Batch Release

Approval for sale and protocol archiving for immediate retrieval.

Test Scope Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you provide a batch report?

We archive reports per batch for immediate retrieval. On request we send both a summary and the full PDFs.

Which laboratories do you use?

Primarily accredited laboratories, e.g., ALS. The scope/LOQ follows the methodologies of the given laboratory.

Do you run cross-region comparisons?

Yes, we conduct long-term comparative testing across regions. We prefer Japanese origin for stability and safety.
