Research notes
Elevation given here (400-600m) differs from the elevation range given on the Haruto - Organic Tenryu Matcha page from the same producer/region (300-600m) - both are Osada Seicha / Isagawa-Tenryu products, so figures are close but not identical; likely reflects different specific plots rather than an error, but flagged for awareness. The explicit rebranding note (old name vs. new name, and that old packaging may still ship) is a notable packaging-related disclosure.
