The Matcha Index Puts Tea Prices on One Scale

Field notes

The project normalizes unlike tea products into dollars per gram, then pairs the figures with close reading of seller descriptions and public production information. Its visible research includes 124 gyokuro listings, 280 hojicha listings, and 57 matcha sets from nine shops. One comparison reports that sets save 15–24% against individual pieces, while changing the retailer can save up to 40%; the extract does not show the underlying data interface or update process.
