Hello, I'd like to know where is this matcha come from? Japan or China? Can I see the ingredients?

It's from Taiwan and the only ingredient is green tea leaves. This is a very low grade matcha; if you've tasted other brands before you might not like this one. You can tell by the price: Teavana sells Matcha at $19 for a 1.4 oz tin and this is $13 for 8 oz. The color is wrong (way too dark) and it's very bitter. It tastes OK only after you add milk to it and make it into a matcha latte.

Made in Taiwan. Ingredients: green tea leaves. I was trying to mimick the Starbucks green tea latte (but with way less sugar). This worked for me. This was also the only brand I tried so far

It comes from Taiwan, and it's good. You cannot see the ingredients b/c it comes in a black bag with a sticker label. Get the one from the Red Leaf Tea seller. They specialize in exotic teas and use high quality ingredients and suppliers. Visit their site too b/c they have many different matchas.

From information on the Yamamotoyama website I think this low cost tea from them may be grown on a plantation in Brazil. Others of their teas come from specific plantations in Japan but I don't think this one does.

Some ingredients come from China, although the company claims it came from very clean source. I guess it has to do with how much you trust China and Megafood.

http://www.green-tea-guide.com/pesticides-in-green-tea.html ....read this article, it'll open your eyes as to how fraught with pesticides and lead Chinese matcha is compared to Japanese matcha... even the organic label doesn't make much of a difference... I've drank Davidson's matcha for quite some time but at this point I'd rather be safe than sorry

I am sorry but I do not know if any ingredients come from China. This is my favorite tea.

the package does not list other ingredients, saying only that it contains organically grown and handpicked matcha green tea. I have had trouble drinking it, the taste is a bit strange compared to other matcha teas I have had, but they were flavored with other ingredients. I just assumed I was making my tea too strong, but have not yet tried it with less powder b/c the tea upset my stomach. I don't know if it is the product or my ignorance of the proper way to use the product.

This one is sourced from China. Unfortunately, they are either sourced from China or Japan and both have quality issues, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives!

To the Kiss Me Organics rep: It clearly states on the 2nd photo which is the back of the package it is from Japan (multiple times) Why are we being told one thing, and the package states another? ?????!!!!

Best I can tell this is made from brewed tea. The matcha I have used seems to be from green tea ground to a very fine powder. Since I use this match inserted to me it has much more of a raw taste than the all orgenic instant product. However I don't know that I'm using the matcha properly.

The sample I have is made in Japan. it sure helps my skin. Japan makes some good facal creams.

It depends on whose definition you use. Some people believe that it can only be called matcha if it comes from Japan. While much of the product from Japan is great quality, it comes with a premium price tag that makes it too expensive for most people. Our product comes from the coastal Fujian province in China where only the finest tea leaves are used and ground into a fine powder that is both affordable and delicious.Pauline MendozaCustomer Love SpecialistEatGreenTea.com

I've never had Matcha. Try nuts,com. They sell bulk Matcha instant tea I think. I mix mine with crystal light and drink it for work out benefits. Sorry I couldn't help you.

As I understand it, Japan first developed the process of making the powdered form of cracked-cell algae, which is readily absorbed by our bodies. Most sellers get it from Japan due to their consistent high quality. Hope that helps.

I read today on their Facebook page a comment to another question that was answered by Taste of the Wild, that 2 ingredients are outsourced from China. The comment was made on March 7, 2014 if you want to read it yourself. I buy this and I love it and my dogs have done really well on it, but I will not continue to feed them ingredients from China. If I wont eat anything from Chine then neither will my dogs.
