Research notes

Page fully accessible and detailed. Contains at least one internally inconsistent-feeling tasting description (one part describes an acidic/ragged finish, another part describes it as smooth/velvety/robust) - noted as a soft tension rather than a hard factual contradiction since both could describe different aspects of the same tea.
