Encha Organic Ceremonial Matcha
Summary
Encha Organic Ceremonial Matcha scores 55/100. USDA Organic, first-harvest, single-ingredient Japanese ceremonial matcha grown in Uji, Japan. Lead Safe Mama 3rd-party lab testing (April 2025) detected 60 ppb lead, 18 ppb cadmium, 18 ppb arsenic, and mercury below the 5 ppb detection threshold. Clean ingredient side, but lead at 60 ppb drags the score.
At a glance
Contaminants 4
Source: Lead Safe Mama
Lead 60 ppb High
A high level of lead — a significant sourcing/quality concern relative to what clean supply chains achieve.
Lead Safe Mama 3rd-party lab testing (April 2025) detected 60 ppb lead.
Cadmium 18 ppb Trace
A trace amount of cadmium — within the range expected from normal soil uptake/processing and below our concern threshold.
Lead Safe Mama testing detected 18 ppb cadmium.
Arsenic 18 ppb Low
A low level of arsenic — present but modest; a sourcing-quality note rather than a safety concern at typical intake.
Lead Safe Mama testing detected 18 ppb arsenic.
Mercury <5 ppb Not detected
Not detected — below the laboratory's detection limit. This is the strictest possible result: no measurable amount was found.
Lead Safe Mama 3rd-party lab testing (April 2025) reported mercury below the 5 ppb lab detection threshold. The lab explicitly notes there is NO safe level of mercury consumption — even a non-detect on a 5 ppb floor still represents possible trace exposure.
