Research notes

Official on-page title is 'Matcha (own garden) Mumon' (the '(own garden)' qualifier is part of the storefront naming convention for this single-cultivar line). Cultivar is described as 'single-origin' while sourced from two named tea gardens (Okunoyama and Togawa) - noted as presented, not resolved as a contradiction since 'single-origin cultivar' likely refers to the Asahi cultivar being uniform, not the growing plot.
