Research notes
The superlative claim 'The Purest and most potent matcha on the planet' is identical/near-identical to language used on the Organic Single Estate product page, suggesting reused brand boilerplate rather than a claim unique to Tenchi. No exact caffeine mg or shelf-life figures disclosed.
