This 100g bag appears to be the only/primary non-organic Culinary Grade Matcha SKU on the retail site (no separate smaller-size non-organic culinary tin was found), so it is used as the source for the plain 'Culinary Grade Matcha' product entry.

  "rating_or_verdict": "No aggregate score published; 2 individual reviews",
  "notes": "One reviewer preferred overbrewing (3 min vs. suggested 90 sec) for a 'bracing, umami' flavor; another described 'rich, nutty, almost grainy/oatmeal-like aroma' with some astringency, noting Aiya's premium sencha offered better value despite higher price. Note: this is a matcha-infused sencha blend, not pure matcha."
