Research notes
Serving size for brewing instructions is stated as 1.5g (vs. 2g used on most other Rishi matcha pages) while the nutrition panel's 'per serving' figures are labeled as '1 tsp/2g' — a minor internal inconsistency in serving size labeling on the same page, flagged as a contradiction rather than reconciled. Nutrition numbers (5 cal, 65mg sodium, 1g carbs) are otherwise identical to Barista Matcha's panel despite the differing stated serving size.
