Research notes

Cultivar list (Okumidori, Komakage, Yabukita) differs from the Teahouse Edition's cultivar list (Okumidori, Kanayamidori, Sayamakaori, Samidori, Yabukita) despite both being marketed with the same Uji & Kagoshima dual-region flavor-fusion description — this is a difference between two related products, not an internal contradiction on this page, but noted for cross-product consistency tracking. Note: this page's extraction did not surface an explicit 60-day guarantee or Non-GMO Project Verified claim that appeared on the Teahouse Edition and Culinary Matcha pages; unclear if that is a true absence on this page or an extraction gap.
