Research notes

Primary source is Ujicha Matcha (US specialty retailer), not the brand's own site — no dedicated English product page for this item was located on giontsujiri.co.jp. Content reads as retailer marketing copy common across this retailer's Gion Tsujiri product line (similar phrasing/structure repeats across other products from the same retailer, suggesting templated descriptions rather than product-specific lab data). Both size variants were unavailable at time of check, so no live checkout data (e.g., itemized pricing per size) could be confirmed.
