Research notes
Cross-checked the ujichamatcha.com collection listing page (which confirmed $29.99 / 40g tin) plus the individual product page for full tasting-note detail. Note a discrepancy between the official retailer's marketed flavor profile (delicate, gentle, minimal astringency, light floral) and independent consumer descriptions (nutty, roasty, mild astringency) - flagged as a contradiction since both describe the same product but paint different sensory pictures.
