Research notes

This is the only one of the 9 products where a specific company-history/founding claim (Kizuna Tea Collective, supplying Japan's domestic market 'since 1858') was surfaced. Also the only product with two distinct extracted review-count figures (389 vs 390) and two slightly different average-rating figures (4.85641 vs 4.8457584) across separate fetch passes — flagged below as a contradiction since both numbers were independently returned as 'the' rating for this same product/page.
