Heavy Metal Tested Matcha Brands
Matcha is a whole-leaf product — you consume everything in the leaf, including any heavy metals. These brands publish at least some heavy metal test data. Brands with ppb-resolution COAs from named accredited labs are the most verifiable. ppm-only results are approximately 1,000× coarser and cannot rule out lower-level contamination.
