Research notes

Reviews (86 total, 4.9/5) and pricing appear to be aggregated across all three flavors (Chocolate/Vanilla/Mango) rather than broken out per-flavor, since Chocolate and Mango entries returned identical review totals and pricing. A second differently-worded URL for what seems to be the same three-flavor product line exists (ceremonial-flavored-matcha-vanilla-mango-or-chocolate-organically-grown-tea-master-series) but was not separately fetched in full; noting its existence as a possible duplicate/alternate listing.
