I am so glad I read this blog, on green tea in Japan. I had always “assumed” that Japan did not use herbicides on their tea farms. I drink up to 10 cups per day of various Japanese teas, so from now on I will definitely only buy “organic.” Now, I am wondering if Japanese rice is safe to eat!?

I didn’t read to the end but can verify that organic has become huge in Japan.

I prefer some of the organic English tea that’s now on the market.

I was in Shizuoka in May but unfortunately didn’t make it to a tea plantation. Next time perhaps. But I do recall seeing on some random late night tv program women in the fields picking new season tea.

I like that. You’re right of course Satoko - green tea should be organic but we all need to remember that unfortunately not all of it is. Certification is the best way of making sure you’re getting what you pay for. Look for the seal.
