Pricing as disclosed
- 100g — $70.40
Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- The 30g tin page's certification logos were read by the extraction as (Non-GMO Project, GFCO, Kosher), while this 100g bag page's same three logos were read as possibly including an 'organic' seal. This product is NOT the organic line (that is a separate SKU/product), so an organic certification here would be inconsistent; likely the fetch tool misread the logo rather than the page actually claiming USDA Organic. Flagging as an unresolved discrepancy rather than asserting either reading.

Research notes
This is the 100g bag SKU of Ceremonial Matcha, packaged as a bag rather than a tin (unlike the 30g version). Content is otherwise nearly identical marketing copy to the 30g tin page.

"rating_or_verdict": "No aggregate score published; 2 individual reviews",
"notes": "One reviewer preferred overbrewing (3 min vs. suggested 90 sec) for a 'bracing, umami' flavor; another described 'rich, nutty, almost grainy/oatmeal-like aroma' with some astringency, noting Aiya's premium sencha offered better value despite higher price. Note: this is a matcha-infused sencha blend, not pure matcha."
