The "kona cha" or powdered sencha is the lowest grade possible, it's what
you get in the cheapest restaurants. The page says their product is done
with "good sencha", but well, if you had good sencha, why would you want it
powdered ? I don't think you're going to drink whisked "powdered sencha" as
a cheaper tea ceremony.
There is not much ressemblance in taste and texture with matcha that is done
with a different type of leaves.
I wouldn't pay the price they ask for that. If you intake powedered tea for
*health reasons* as they suggest, pick up the cheapest green tea available
at your local supermarket and ground it yourself just before using it.
