Research notes

Background context found via search (not necessarily on this exact product page): First Whisk was reportedly launched as a new offering during a global matcha shortage. Product is explicitly positioned/marketed relative to the brand's own Premium Matcha (lighter, lower caffeine, beginner-oriented) rather than described independently.

Rubin's commentary: of the (now) 10 matcha products she has covered, 6 had lower Lead than Matcha Nude's self-reported 74 ppb; Matcha Nude's 11 ppb Cadmium was the lowest of the group; its 7 ppb Arsenic was 'safe by all standards' and lower than the other matcha products tested; but it tested positive for Mercury, which concerns her given there is 'no safe level of Mercury consumption for pregnant women / women of childbearing age.' She recommends brewed (steeped) green tea as a safer alternative to matcha powder.",
