Yakushima Naturally Cultivated Green Powdered Green Ichibancha Bottle x 2 No no chemical no residual no scattered Domestic Catechin Yakushima Tea,

---------------------------------------------------------------------- [? Doubts? ] We often receive questions in our product reviews, such as ``What products are pesticide-free but don't have the organic JAS mark?'', so I would like to give a simple explanation. First of all, organic does not mean pesticide-free. Organic tea is a qualification given to foods that meet Organic JAS standards, and Organic JAS does not have any pesticide-free regulations. In fact, there are many organic JAS certified pesticides on the market. Many farmers grow tea according to strict organic standards, but almost 100% of farmers will reduce their income if they cultivate tea completely without pesticides, so they have no choice but to use certified organic pesticides. is the reality. In addition, many of our customers have a sensitive sense of smell and taste to chemicals, or cannot even drink organic tea, so we do not use certified organic pesticides or anything that can be labeled as pesticides. We believe in the inherent vitality of plants, such as their tolerance, and carry out natural cultivation. We try to deal with damage caused by pests and diseases using natural methods (for example, spraying diluted seawater, etc.) as much as possible, but damage caused by insects cannot be avoided! This leads to a decrease in revenue, production volume is unstable, and in terms of quality, we sometimes produce the same tea every year, sometimes not, which causes inconvenience to our customers. But good thing too! ...Tea leaves that have suffered moderate feeding damage may improve their flavor through fermentation. (One example: Oriental Beauty of Chinese tea) Our "completely pesticide-free natural cultivation" is made up of both green tea and fermented tea. In addition, as a precaution, we conduct annual pesticide residue tests, and this year as well, all 200 items were found to have no pesticide residues detected, so you can enjoy our products with peace of mind. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who uses the vitality of plants in Yakushima and our company. Drinking powdered green tea is a very logical way of ingesting 100% tea leaves into the body, but residual pesticides that are ingested 100% with tea accumulate in the body for many years, causing unexplained health damage. It is also said that this is the cause. The tea leaves used as raw materials must be natural tea, so the organic JAS certified Yakushima Osaki Farm does not use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers that are approved for use by organic JAS, and it is grown in nature with no scattered pesticides. Both spider webs and praying mantises play a part in tea production. Tea leaves grown naturally. Clothing with cheesecloth (black shading net) suppresses the astringency and improves the color of the tea leaves, but we do not intentionally use it because it blocks sunlight and prevents the production of catechins, which are the components of the astringency. We do not use any nitrogen-based chemical fertilizers, which improve the color and flavor of the tea leaves, so the light blue color does not turn out to be a bright green, and the flavor is naturally rich in catechins, making it slightly astringent. is. In order to avoid the clumps that are the fate of powdered green tea, it is ground slightly coarsely, so it does not dissolve like matcha. [Reference] The national standards for pesticide residues are based on tea being drunk in a teapot, but powdered green tea, in which 100% of the tea leaves are absorbed into the body, requires completely different standards and zero pesticide residue. I am. If you are interested, please search for ``Japanese tea's residual pesticide standards are hundreds of times higher than that of other agricultural products'' or ``drinkable pesticides.'' Yakushima has been registered as a World Natural Heritage Site as an island with a rare ecosystem in the world, where humans have coexisted with a natural history that has continued since ancient times. Tea production in Yakushima is also a symbiosis between humans, plants, and insects. Depending on the year, the tea leaves may suffer severe damage due to insect damage, but a moderate amount of damage actually increases the catechin content of the tea leaves, creating an ideal environment for fermented teas such as black tea. (Reference: Yakushima Benifuki black tea) We are proud that Yakushima naturally cultivated tea, which is nurtured by the mysterious providence of nature and the harsh yet blessed nature, can be enjoyed by people who are sensitive to chemicals. It's encouraging. If you turn the bottle upside down and tap the bottom with your finger, a certain amount will come out. Zero residual pesticides and scattered pesticides
