The test has been done by an authorized inspection agency every June just before harvesting. Most recent test is issued 6/14/2013. And all Kesennuma Kuwa-cha (mulberry tea) we are selling is made of the mulberry leaves after the test.Unfortunately the report is unable to upload on Amazon screen. However we will send the report by email if you contact us by feedback with request. Please keep in mind that this was conducted by a Japanese inspection agency, and therefore the test certificate is all in Japanese. My apologies that I do not have the English version at hand at this moment.
