Description

Hikari is Matchaful's single-origin ceremonial matcha, grown on a multi-generational single estate in Shizuoka and stone-milled to order from first-harvest leaves. It carries tasting notes of walnut, lemon, and butter, with a light body and a grassy, floral edge that reviewers note can lean astringent. The leaves are grown without pesticides and shaded by solar panels.

Heavy Metals

Arsenic (As)A naturally occurring trace element absorbed from soil and water. Shown in parts per million (ppm). Lower is better.0.022 ppm
Cadmium (Cd)A heavy metal that leafy plants like tea draw from soil. Shown in parts per million (ppm). Lower is better.0.019 ppm
Mercury (Hg)A trace heavy metal occasionally present from environmental sources. Shown in parts per million (ppm). Lower is better; most matcha tests below detection.Not detected (<0.005 ppm)
