Research notes

IMPORTANT ANOMALY: The live product URL slug is 'pure-zen-premium-organic-japanese-matcha-green-tea-powder' (containing the string 'pure-zen'), but the actual displayed product title/name on that page is '"Spring Zen" Superior Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder', a distinct product from 'Pure Zen' (which lives at a different URL: pure-zen-premium-japanese-uji-matcha-green-tea-powder). This looks like a leftover/renamed URL slug from when the product may have been called something else, not a duplicate product. Pricing and tasting notes differ from the true Pure Zen product, confirming these are two separate SKUs despite the confusing shared 'pure-zen' text in this URL.
