Research notes

This is the lowest-priced product captured in this set (¥2,484), consistent with 'Recommended Use: Usucha' only (entry-level thin-tea positioning), though the general serving guide line still lists a Koicha gram amount. Tea gardens and cultivar list are nearly identical to Matcha Agata no Shiro (Wazuka, Ujitawara, Minamiyamashiro and Kamo, Kyoto), differing mainly in one cultivar (Gokou here vs. Saemidori for Agata no Shiro) and price - these appear to be closely related but distinct blends from the same source gardens.
