The datasets behind The Matcha Index articles are published here so anyone can verify our numbers or build on them. Files are updated when we re-collect; each filename carries its collection date.

Method in one paragraph

Prices and weights come from each brand’s public store feed, collected on the date in the filename, covering every listed product (no sampling). Weights listed in ounces are converted at 1 oz = 28.35 g. Listings without a computable net weight are included in the file but excluded from per-gram statistics. Reviews come from the brands’ public review widgets and are verified-buyer entries as labeled by those systems.
