Our Commitment to Genuine Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha
Matcha’s global popularity has unfortunately led to a rise in counterfeit and improperly handled products. At Luna Matcha, we are committed to delivering only 100% authentic Marukyu Koyamaen tea, handled with the respect it deserves.
1. Verified Source & Official Warnings
We source our tea directly and legitimately from Marukyu Koyamaen in Uji, Japan. To protect yourself from imitations, we encourage you to review the following official notices from the manufacturer’s website:
*Luna Matcha is proud to be a verified importer, ensuring you never receive products from these unauthorized channels.
2. Identifying Authentic Packaging & Markings
According to Marukyu Koyamaen's official documentation regarding Matcha Bag Specifications, there are specific details you should know to verify your product's authenticity.
Two Official "Best Before" Printing Positions
A common concern for customers is the location of the expiration date. Marukyu Koyamaen officially uses two different positions for their bag products (100g, 200g, 500g):
- Position A: Centered on the back of the bag.
- Position B: On the bottom-right corner of the back.
Both are genuine factory markings. These variations exist due to the specific machinery used during the packaging process at the Uji factory.
