Sources & methodology
Higher means more intense, not a quality score or liking. Overall stars are separate. 0 means not perceived; a missing value means unknown.
Where is my matcha? estimates intensity from qualitative product descriptions using research-v1. These are editorial estimates, not measurements, manufacturer scores or community votes. Missing evidence stays unknown; each preparation is assessed separately.
0 absent; 1 trace/slight; 2 light; 3 moderate; 4 strong/rich; 5 exceptionally intense. Only explicit degree for that axis is scored; missing evidence is unknown.
Original source text and editorial notes
Official shop product-specific prose explicitly for usucha (water), not the maker’s separate mild/bitter dot scale. Qualitative estimate without a standardized preparation; latte use suggestions are not latte tasting evidence.
