Research notes
This is the only product in the 13-item set that is explicitly a seasonal/limited-season release (summer only, through September) and the only one with instructions specific to iced preparation rather than standard usucha/koicha. Brewing water temperature (85C) differs from the 80C used for hot-water preparation on nearly all other products, though this may simply reflect the different (iced) use case rather than being an inconsistency.
