Research notes
IMPORTANT DATA-QUALITY CAVEAT: The official product URL (https://us.kissmeorganics.com/shop/ceremonial-matcha/) could NOT be directly fetched — both the WebFetch tool and the browser tool returned DNS resolution failures ('getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND us.kissmeorganics.com' / 'Non-existent domain'), confirmed via a direct nslookup showing NXDOMAIN for the us. subdomain (the bare root domain kissmeorganics.com resolves but is now a GoDaddy-parked domain unrelated to the live business, and a uk. subdomain also failed to resolve). All data above was therefore compiled from Google-indexed search snippets of the official page plus corroborating third-party retailer/reseller mirror pages (teacoffeestore.com, storyandrain.com) that reproduce the brand's product copy. This is a best-effort reconstruction, not a direct read of the live official page, and should be treated with lower confidence than the Matcha Konomi entries in this batch, which were fetched directly.
