Full details

Everything disclosed on the product page (16 fields)▾

Size Primary: 4oz (also sold in 1 lb size, and in 2-pack/3-pack/4-pack multi-packs of the 4oz size, per Walmart listings for what appears to be the same underlying product)
Certifications: [ "Organic (per listing title)", "Kosher Pareve" ]
Category: Grocery & Gourmet Food
Claimed Uses: [ "Smoothies", "Lattes", "Baking" ]
Marketed Claim: 100% Pure Matcha, 'Easy to Mix' formulation
Packaging Per Reviewer: Resealable pouch — one reviewer (matchaconnection.com) noted this format is 'not ideal for storage or freshness' compared to tins
Origin Per Reviewer: China (not Japan), per matchaconnection.com reviewer who examined the product directly
Manufacturer Background: Part of the Perfotek brand (supplements, waist trimmers, etc.)
Retail Channels: Amazon (8,500+ customer reviews cited) and Walmart
Walmart Marketing Claim: Search-result snippets describe uVernal as 'made in the USA by a family-owned and operated business' — this directly conflicts with the reviewer's on-package China-origin finding
Reviewer Scores Matchaconnection: { "overall": "75/100", "color_grind": "65/100", "taste": "80/100" }
Aroma Per Reviewer: Described as a 'bitter barnyard type smell' rather than fresh/grassy
Color Per Reviewer: 'Dingy green' appearance, darker than premium matchas in side-by-side comparison
Taste Per Reviewer: 'Fairly mild, slightly sweet' despite the poor appearance/aroma
Reviewer Recommendation: Explicitly would not recommend, citing origin (China vs. claimed Japan/USA), color quality, and aroma
Price: Not captured directly from Amazon (dynamic page content not retrievable via fetch tool); no specific price found in secondary sources either

Research notes

The Amazon product page returned only header/script metadata when fetched (Amazon's dynamic rendering was not captured by the fetch tool), so most descriptive detail comes from third-party review/retail sources (matchaconnection.com, Walmart search listings) rather than the primary Amazon listing text. Multiple sources describe inconsistent origin claims for this brand's products.
