Research notes

A separate 100g bag SKU of Organic Culinary Grade Matcha also exists on the site (organic-culinary-grade-matcha-100g-bag) but is not one of the 12 requested products; the 50g bag was used here as the primary/default 'Organic Culinary Grade Matcha' entry since no size qualifier is given in the requested product name.

{
  "rating_or_verdict": "No aggregate score published; 2 individual reviews",
  "notes": "One reviewer preferred overbrewing (3 min vs. suggested 90 sec) for a 'bracing, umami' flavor; another described 'rich, nutty, almost grainy/oatmeal-like aroma' with some astringency, noting Aiya's premium sencha offered better value despite higher price. Note: this is a matcha-infused sencha blend, not pure matcha."
