Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- On the 7oz (200g) product page, the 'How to Prepare' section literally states '100g bag contains 100 servings,' which appears to be copy-pasted from the 3.5oz/100g product page without updating for the 200g size — the number of servings for the 200g product is not actually confirmed by the page's own text.

Research notes
Kyoto Dew treats 'Ceremonial Grade Matcha' as one continuous product line sold in three sizes/formats (tin and two bag sizes) rather than three distinct products, each with a near-identical but not verbatim-identical marketing description. Data was captured via live browser rendering since the site is JavaScript-heavy (Wix) and a simple fetch returned only truncated navigation content.
