Rocky’s Matcha prices: what a gram actually costs

Every matcha on rocky’s own shop that states a net weight, read from its product pages on 30 August 2026.

Rocky’s lists sixteen matcha with a stated weight, from $0.78 to $4.40 a gram. Nine are in stock today. The tin rocky’s calls its signature blend sits near the top of that range, not the bottom.

The cheapest matcha in stock is the Osada Ceremonial Blend at $1.00 a gram, and the blue tin costs 80% more for the same 20 grams. (Rocky’s also sells a roasted houjicha, which it files under matcha: $20 for 20 g and $48 for 100 g. It is a different tea, so it sits outside the table below.)

If you want Buy Price Per gram Per bowl
The cheapest matcha in stock Osada Ceremonial Blend, 20 g $20 $1.00 $2.00
A large tin, in stock Horii Shichimeien Ceremonial Blend, 100 g $108 $1.08 $2.16
One cultivar, not a blend Okumidori or Koshun, 20 g $28 $1.40 $2.80
The blue tin Ceremonial Blend, 20 g $36 $1.80 $3.60

A bowl of the Osada costs $2.00 and a bowl of the blue tin costs $3.60, out of the same shop, on the same day. That within-shop gap is the rule, not the exception — our matcha brands comparison shows the same pattern across twelve shops.

What a gram costs at rocky’s

Sixteen matcha state a net weight on a public product page. Here is all of them.

Osada Ceremonial Blend 100 g $78 $0.78 no
Osada Ceremonial Blend 20 g $20 $1.00 yes
Daily Ceremonial Blend, single-serve 10 × 3 g $32 $1.07 yes

Single Cultivar Okumidori 20 g $28 $1.40 yes
Single Cultivar Koshun 20 g $28 $1.40 yes
Horii Shichimeien Ceremonial Blend 20 g $28 $1.40 no
Ceremonial Blend 100 g $168 $1.68 yes
Tsujiki Ceremonial Blend 100 g $168 $1.68 no
Ceremonial Blend 20 g $36 $1.80 yes

Single Cultivar Horii Shichimeien Narino 20 g $88 $4.40 yes

Among the 20 gram tins alone, the dearest costs 4.4 times the cheapest — and fourteen of these sixteen are sold as ceremonial grade, including both ends. The label is not sorting anything here; it is not a regulated term.

The tin everyone buys is not the cheapest one

The blue Ceremonial Blend is the tea rocky’s calls its signature blend. At 20 grams it is $36, or $1.80 a gram. The Osada Ceremonial Blend, in the same 20 gram tin, is $20 — $1.00 a gram.

Osada, 20 g Ceremonial Blend, 20 g
Price $20 $36
Per gram $1.00 $1.80
Per bowl $2.00 $3.60
A bowl a day, for a year $730 $1,314

Drinking the blue tin instead of the Osada costs $584 a year.

They are not the same tea. The Osada comes from Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Shizuoka; the blue tin from Yame. Both are blends, both name their cultivars, and both are sold as ceremonial grade.

The big tin saves less than you’d expect

Four of these teas are sold in both sizes, so you can see exactly what the 100 gram tin buys you.

Tea 20 g 100 g What the big tin saves
Horii Shichimeien $1.40 $1.08 23%
Osada Ceremonial Blend $1.00 $0.78 22%
Ceremonial Blend $1.80 $1.68 7%
Tsujiki Ceremonial Blend $1.80 $1.68 7%

Buying five times as much of the blue tin saves 7%. At Aiya the same step down saves 40%, which is what this normally looks like. On the other two it saves about 22%.

That matters for the obvious move. If the blue tin looks expensive at 20 grams and you reach for the 100 gram version to fix it, you are still paying $1.68 a gram — more than the Osada costs in the small tin, and more than the Horii costs in the large one.

What to buy

Start with the Osada Ceremonial Blend, 20 g, $20. It is the cheapest matcha in stock, and it is $2.00 a bowl. Rocky’s own description points beginners at it.

If you drink it daily, buy the Horii Shichimeien 100 g, $108. At $1.08 a gram it costs fractionally more than the Osada’s small tin, but it is the cheapest large tin in stock — the Osada’s own 100 gram tin, at $0.78, has been sold out, and it is the one to buy if it returns.

Buy the blue Ceremonial Blend only if you want that specific tea. At $1.80 a gram small and $1.68 large, it is the dearest of rocky’s blends either way, and the size discount that helps the rest of the range barely touches this one.

Skip the Single Cultivar Narino at $88 unless you are tasting deliberately. It is $8.80 a bowl — a fine thing to spend once and a poor thing to spend every morning.

Questions people ask

Where can I buy rocky’s matcha?
From rocky’s own shop, which is where every price on this page comes from. Note that its product feed also carries wholesale and 1 kg lines whose product pages return 404 — those prices show up in data without being anything a shopper can buy, which is why you will sometimes see a rocky’s figure far below anything on the site.

Is rocky’s matcha expensive?
Its cheapest listing is $0.78 a gram and its dearest is $4.40. Among the 20 gram tins, which is what most people buy, the range is $1.00 to $4.40 — so the small tin is where this shop is dearest, and the Osada is the one that sits at the bottom of it.

Is rocky’s matcha from Japan?
The tea is grown in Japan; rocky’s is a US brand. Its pages name a Japanese region for every matcha listed here — Uji, Yame, Shizuoka, Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Kyoto — and name the producer for ten of the sixteen, including Osada Tea, Horii Shichimeien and Kiyoharu Tsuji.

Is the Discovery Bundle a better deal?
Not if what you want is matcha. It is $58 for three 20 g tins — the Osada, the Okumidori and the houjicha — which is $10 less than buying all three separately. But the two matcha tins on their own are $48. The bundle only saves you money if you also wanted the roasted houjicha.

Is the 100 gram tin worth it?
On the Osada and the Horii, yes — about 22% off per gram. On the blue Ceremonial Blend and the Tsujiki it saves 7%, which is not much of a reason to commit to five times as much tea.
