Unlike other plants, matcha is protected from sunlight for most of its life, in order to develop its rich amino acid profile and unique flavor. As such, it requires fertilizers for energy to grow. The fertilizers used to grow our matcha are high-quality, natural fertilizers, although they are not certified organic. Organic matcha green tea powders may carry the organic label, but they tend to be lighter in color and have a weaker flavor and lower nutrient profile.
