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).
