Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores chamomile tea at a serving of weak, short-steeped cup; at 1 standard cup (250 ml) steeped normally it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
