Research notes

Positioned as Jade Leaf's most premium ceremonial matcha, above the Barista Edition. Shelf life guidance differs in framing from the Barista Edition (this page emphasizes a 2-month post-opening window for 'optimal taste' plus a package expiration date, whereas the Barista Edition page states an approx. 730-day guaranteed shelf life and fridge storage) — these appear to be complementary rather than conflicting claims (one covers unopened/total shelf life, the other opened/optimal-taste window), but are captured separately since the two pages phrase it differently.
