The truth? Some matcha powders can contain trace levels of lead, pesticides, and other contaminants depending on where and how they’re grown. And most brands won’t tell you that. Matcha is made by grinding whole tea leaves into a fine powder. Sounds pure, right? But here’s the catch:

If the soil where those leaves were grown contains lead (which is surprisingly common in certain regions), the heavy metals don’t get filtered out — they get concentrated. You’re drinking it, leaf and all. No filtration. No protection. Just everything the plant absorbed from its environment.

LUCENT skips the powder entirely. Instead, we use purified green tea + matcha extracts — and we extract with care:

• Double water infusion, not chemical solvents
  
• No ethanol, methanol, or acetone
  
• No lead accumulation
  
• High in L-theanine + EGCG — for clean energy and clarity
  
• Independently tested for heavy metals and pesticides
  

Every extract we use is compliant with EU, EFSA, and USP safety standards — because you deserve peace of mind with every sip.
