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."
