What does The Matcha Club say about its sourcing
The company describes its Signature Ceremonial Matcha as a blend of first and second flush Yabukita leaf from Kagoshima, and its Organic Signature Ceremonial Matcha as a Yabukita and Okumidori blend from Shizuoka. It lists both as high ceremonial grade, shaded for three to four weeks, hand-picked and granite stone-ground, and says its organic range is JASCERT-certified to EU, USDA and Canadian organic standards. It also says every batch is tested for taste, colour and freshness. 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.
