Research notes
The product page/listing actually covers two flavor variants (Original/Pure and Ginger) at the same URL and identical pricing, though the task's product name ('Space Matcha Organic Instant Matcha Cubes') does not specify a flavor. The 'NASA technology' and 'Astronaut Grade' claims appeared in a separate search-result summary of the same product but were not explicitly re-confirmed in the direct page fetch text. No exact caffeine mg or shelf-life figures disclosed.
