Research notes
This is Kusmi's base/organic 'Matcha' SKU (distinct from Ceremonial Matcha and Premium Matcha listed separately). Grinding method described as 'granite blocks' here versus 'stone millstones' on the Ceremonial and Premium pages -- both likely refer to the same traditional stone-grinding process, phrased differently.
