Research notes

Product is described as 'single-source' in one part of the marketing copy despite the producer being listed as 'Various Small Farmers' / a blended cuvée — noted below as a possible internal tension in terminology rather than a factual contradiction, since Kettl appears to use 'single-source' to mean sourced from one growing region/market lot rather than one farmer.
