Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- Origin is stated as 'Nishio, Japan' in one description of this product versus the generic 'Nishio & Kyushu Island' sourcing line used on the fetched product page — not necessarily contradictory (both could be true of the blend) but the two phrasings aren't reconciled anywhere on the page.
- Caffeine is listed as 'High Caffeine (40+ mg)' on the default product page, while the very similar Grand Cru ceremonial matcha (same brewing ritual, same regional sourcing claim) is listed as 'Medium Caffeine (20-39mg)' — plausible given different leaf/grind, but flagging since no explanation for the difference is given on either page.

Research notes
Primary facts pulled from the individual US product page (organic-matcha-matsu-us). The plain '/products/organic-matcha-matsu' and '/products/organic-matcha-matsu-bag-150-g' URLs resolved to the general collection page rather than a distinct product page in this research, so bag-specific weight/pricing details are taken from third-party search-result snippets only and are not independently verified against a fetched page.
