  "review_summary": "Maeda-en Shiki Matcha (Universal grade). Good value everyday matcha, creamy and slightly nutty flavor, produces bubbles/froth, sealed packaging (tin in bag). Lighter green than the brand's ceremonial grade, slightly bitter aftertaste. Verdict: 'a good value, simple, enjoyable everyday matcha' better for casual use than ceremony.",

  "review_summary": "Medium yellowish green, earthy/bitter profile, nice froth but 'very astringent' - not recommended to drink alone. Works excellently in lattes and desserts (e.g., blancmange), pairs well with dairy/sweets. 'Great for cooking' rather than ceremonial use.",
