Research notes
Notably candid flavor description calling the tea 'almost completely bitter' - unusually blunt/negative-sounding language for a product page, retained verbatim as disclosed. Flavor description says leaves are 'mainly' Samidori, while the cultivar list also includes Yabukita, Saemidori 'and others' - consistent (mainly one, blended with others), not a contradiction.
