Research notes

A separate secondary WebSearch summary (not the direct product page fetch) attributed an 'organic matcha from a Kagoshima coop' description to Kamakura; the direct product page instead states origin is Ujitawara, Kyoto with no organic claim and no Kagoshima mention. This appears to be the same search-engine cross-contamination with the unrelated 'Hyperpremium Organic' product noted for Blend 93.
