What does House of Berry say about its sourcing
The company says its signature ceremonial matcha is sourced directly from a fifth-generation family tea producer in Japan, operating since 1898. It describes the matcha as first-harvest leaf from a blend of Saemidori and Yutakamidori cultivars, stone-milled, with no added sugar, flavours or fillers. It does not name the growing region or make an organic claim. These are the company's own statements; the grade guides below cover how to judge any matcha for yourself.

How should you evaluate it for yourself
The same checks apply to every matcha brand, this one included: match the grade to the use (ceremonial for drinking plain, culinary for lattes and baking), look for a stated origin and a harvest or best-before date, prefer airtight opaque packaging, and read the ingredient list: pure matcha has one ingredient, while latte blends add sugar or milk powder and are a different product.
