Research notes

Culinary/baking-grade tencha matcha distinct from the two ceremonial-grade drinking products; no flavor or brewing info given since it's positioned purely for baking. Freshness cadence (imported every 2 months, ground to order) mirrors the Ceremonial Matcha product's monthly-import claim but stated as bi-monthly here -- worth noting the import cadence differs between this product (every two months) and the Ceremonial Matcha page (monthly).
