Here’s one of the best organic matcha producer.
He used to be researcher about chemical field and his way of managing tea field is quite logical.

Many organic tea farmer would tell fantasy like organic cultivation for health, which is totally wrong.
In Japanese regulation it’s almost impossible to sell foods, which doesn’t meet safety standard.
Pesticide nowadays are much less dangerous than 50 years ago.

I’ve asked the producer what’s advantage of organic cultivation.
His answer is “Only for saving the environment”.
In organic tea field there more diversity of living beings.
It prevents specific insects grow too many.

Organic cultivation never be signal of better taste, quality, safety.
It’s up to the producers’ effort.
