Research notes

Note the product is also referred to elsewhere on peets.com/in search results as 'Organic Usucha Matcha' (see https://www.peets.com/products/organic-usucha-matcha-green-tea, fetched separately) — Mighty Leaf appears to market essentially the same Usucha-grade matcha under both an 'Organic Ceremonial Matcha' product page and an 'Organic Usucha Matcha Green Tea' product page, with slightly different pricing/sizing. Both are documented here and as a separate line item is not created since the user's list specifies 'Organic Ceremonial Matcha (Usucha)' as one product; the usucha-handle page data is included in page_notes for completeness: price $28.95, sizes '12ct Packets' and '3oz Loose Leaf' (both listed at $28.95), tasting notes Ocean Spray/Sweet Grass/Creamy Umami, caffeine 67/100, aroma 33/100, same origin/brewing/harvest details, also sold out at time of check.
