Is the Green Tea organic? And, I see that it is manufactured in the US but where is it sourced from? I avoid anything that is sourced from China.

I don't know. I went to Nutrigold's website, but there is nothing there that indicates a foreign source. They do indicate that their sources are carefully vetted, selected, and all product source is tested for purity and quality. They also refer to "local sources". Those facts and the non-GMO indicator would seem to indicate, at least to me, that everything is sourced in the USA.

The package does not give any information on the caffeine content Green tea has 2 - 4% caffeine naturally but have seen some green tea that is caffeine free. I guess they can take the caffeine out of it like decaf coffee. It does say that it is manufactured in USA. Perhaps, if you call the manufacture they can give you the information you need; Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems Santa Cruz, CA 95060 phone 800-571-4701(from the bottle). Hope this helps

My understanding that that green tea is in the low to 0 category. Might be best to seek answer from an Apothecary or specialty tea shop to be absolutely certain.

Thanks so much GW for posting this. Although we have already posted this a few times before on our reviews section and in response to some of the questions posted here, we are re-posting this for everyone's convenience. The home of our Organic Matcha - both Culinary and Ceremonial - is now located in Shizuoka, Japan, within a tea region recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Harvested from a family-run tea farm in operation since 1915. Our farm has been certified organic since 2000, synthetic chemical free since 1994, and reduced chemical usage since 1975. Now you can enjoy great quality Matcha from the place it all began - Japan. Thanks again for posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to attach a file here. Once we've created a link to access our Radiation Test, Metal Test, and Organic Certification, we'll once again post them here. But please do email ashley@kissmeorganics.com if you have further concerns. Best, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

Anyone can put a Made in the USA label on their product, but are they actually made in a FDA approved GMP facility? Taking the right course of action I would see China being the source of manufacturing - then distributed out of LA - enjoy your gummy's.

I think all the pea proteins come from the same place in China based on my search on Amazon. Funny, we're all buying the same thing under different brand names with different prices. If anyone finds one "sourced" in the US, please post.

Our Matcha powder is from China and it is not shade-grown. We sent these samples to a lab in Colorado to have them tested. Most brands won't do the testing because it's expensive - but it's important to us. We chose the farm that had the purest (and nutritionally most potent) green tea we could find anywhere. It just so happened to be from a farm in China. The locals have a long and storied tradition of cultivating high quality tea plants. They take a lot of pride in their plantation and meticulously care for each plant. There are some concerns with radiation from Japanese products right now. Since the devastating tsunami in 2004 damaged nuclear reactors in Japan, large portions of their green tea crops have been quarantined, destroyed, or ordered not to be harvested by the Japanese government. It's a tragic situation that has affected the supply of matcha and other teas all over the world. Thanks again for your interest and if you need anything else, please feel free to contact us via Amazon or through jessica@kissmeorganics.com Jessica Patterson Customer Love Specialist KissMeOrganics.com

If you are asking where the product originates from, I would have to say the company Viva Herbals which I think is in New York. It is green tea extract, so it is extracted or concentrated green tea. There is a number on the bottle that you can call if you have any questions. Its as follows: 1-888-381-8482. I hope you are able to find the answer to your question.

I just confirmed - it's China or Korea. Just got this email from them" 1000mg Chlorella: While previously Taiwanese current country of origin is China or Korea. They are grown in controlled outdoor commercial fresh water ponds. They are processed in their respective countries and packaged here in our Bloomingdale, IL USA facility. I too want to find a source that is not China.

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.

From what I have read, it is a collection of several types of tea, all black teas, and usually any English black tea comes from India.My question is where did you get this? I have been looking for it myself. I have used it for a few years, but now I can't find it, other than Davidson's English Breakfast bulk tea which costs over $100 and is in the garden center.

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.

Thanks so much for your answers,Anthony..I must inquire as someone whom has had health issues and knows as a fact that fear of products from China is a reality, not paranoia....Who tests the tea??? The Chinese have,without any question, been poisoning exports, and its more prevalent now than ever...

Tests of Chinese teas have consistently shown them to be inferior to Japanese teas in terms of heavy metal (especially lead) contamination. The fact that it is organic has absolutely nothing to do with lead content.
