If you see 'made with organic matcha,' that's a different category. It means at least 70% of the ingredients are organic, but the product isn't fully organic. In California, this label must be accompanied by a statement like 'made with organic ingredients.' It's not misleading, but it's not the same as '100% organic.'

So, if you're buying matcha for its organic benefits, check the front of the package. The USDA seal appears on products that are at least 95% organic. 'Made with organic' won't have that seal.
