Research notes

This is also listed as one component of a separate 'Complete Matcha Starter Set' bundle (culinaryteas.com/products/complete-matcha-starter-set) that pairs it with a ceramic tea bowl, bamboo whisk, and scoop/spoon — that bundle is a distinct SKU from the standalone product captured here.
