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.
