Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- Cultivar composition conflicts between sources describing the same product: one summary (from an initial search pass) stated it is 'a blend of Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars', while the detailed product-page text itself states 'a blend of primarily yabukita with yutakamidori and saemidori' -- Okumidori vs. yutakamidori/saemidori is a real discrepancy, not resolved.

Research notes
Marketed specifically as designed for milk-based lattes (soften bitterness, boost umami/caffeine/L-theanine when paired with milk); described elsewhere on the Jing site as popular with luxury hotels. Note the cultivar description differs from a separate search-engine summary of the same product (see contradictions).
