Research notes

Same connectivity caveat as the Ceremonial Grade listing: shop.epicmatcha.com could not be directly fetched (DNS/connection failures on every retry via fetch tool and browser). Data reconstructed via search-engine synthesis of the live page and the site's Loox reviews widget (loox.io/s/EkgWObkqoS), which was directly fetchable.
