Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- Price/currency mismatch: a WebFetch-tool pass returned regular price '£20.00 GBP' and showed the product as 'Sold out', while a live browser session (get_page_text) on the same URL showed 'Regular price $28.00' in USD with no out-of-stock indicator. This is likely due to geolocation-based currency/locale switching rather than an actual price change, but the two data points genuinely disagree and are both reported here rather than reconciled.

Research notes
Page title and URL slug both reference a 'Kotobuki' cultivar and JAS organic status that are not elaborated on in the visible body copy — only the grade (AAA Ceremonial), region (Uji, Kyoto), and flavour tag (Mild umami, light finish) are shown as structured facts. Reviews are extensive and consistent, praising smoothness, lack of bitterness, and umami depth. Price differed between two fetch methods (see contradictions).
