Research notes

Positioned below the Gold grade at $14 vs $18, same 30G size. Page copy is nearly identical template to the Gold Grade page, differing mainly in the phrase 'crafted for culinary excellence' vs 'ideal for traditional tea preparation or elevated beverages' -- suggests Silver is positioned as more of a culinary/everyday grade despite not being explicitly labeled 'culinary' in the title.
