Research notes

This is the only one of the 11 products with a fully disclosed ingredients list including added sugar and a complete nutrition facts panel; grade/cultivar/specific farm are not specified (only broad prefecture-level sourcing given), consistent with this being a blended/entry-level product rather than a single-origin ceremonial matcha.
