Everything disclosed on the product page

Page Reachability

UNREACHABLE — the official product page could not be loaded. Repeated fetch attempts (with and without 'www', and over plain HTTP) returned SSL/TLS errors: 'certificate has expired' and a separate 'HANDSHAKE_FAILURE_ON_CLIENT_HELLO' error. The firstharvesttea.com domain currently appears to have an invalid/expired SSL certificate, making the live page inaccessible via standard fetch tools. All data below is therefore reconstructed from secondary sources (search engine result snippets referencing the official page, and a third-party review site), NOT verified directly against the live official page.

Organic Ceremonial Grade (per product name and third-party sources)

Certified organic by 'JAS-JONA & USDA' (per search snippet describing the official page's own claims)

Size Yield

1 oz bag yields approximately 15-20 servings (per search snippet)

Ingredients

Matcha green tea powder only; described as vegan and gluten-free (per search snippet)

Tasting Notes Per Secondary Review

From Oolong Owl third-party review (not the official page): light grass-green color, herbal/sweet grassy aroma, light bitterness on first sip, savory grassy green flavor with a hint of cream, fresh near-spearmint aftertaste, lightly creamy texture; whisked up with 'a great thick foam' and no bald spots; reviewer noted it works well in iced/smoothie preparations because coldness tames the bitterness

Price Per Secondary Review

Oolong Owl review (undated relative to today, may be outdated) cited a sale price of $14.99, reduced from an original $24.99, with free shipping — this reflects that reviewer's snapshot in time, not a confirmed current price

Marketing Claim Per Search Snippet

Compared to coffee: 'provides the punch of a cup of coffee with almost none of the crash or jitters' (per search-engine summary of the official page's copy)

Seller Location Per Search Snippet

First Harvest Tea described in one search summary as 'an online seller based in Nevada'

Research notes

This product page could NOT be directly read/verified due to the site's expired/invalid SSL certificate — this is a significant limitation on the reliability of this entry. All figures above are second-hand (search engine summaries of the page, or a third-party review blog) and should be treated as lower-confidence than the Culinary Teas entries, which were read directly from the live pages. Exact current pricing, full size/variant lineup, cultivar, specific harvest date, shelf life, and packaging details could not be confirmed at all — no source (primary or secondary) disclosed these.
