This is a traditional herb in Chinese Traditional Medicine and, yes, it comes from China. All plant material imported into the UK, no matter where it has originated, has to undergo DEFRA Microbial and stringent phytosanitary tests before it can gain a certificate for legal sale. All our material has been tested. It is wrong to assume that China is the only place where pesticides and heavy metal contamination occurs. Some of the worst contaminated products originate from the USA and the EU - hence the testing required by law
