Who buys it, and why

Matcha refers to stone-ground Japanese green tea powder whisked into water or milk rather than steeped. People search it to learn what it is, compare it with coffee on caffeine and jitters, and find lattes near them or at chains such as Starbucks. In practice it is bought as powder for home lattes, ordered in cafés and used in baking. Its rise rides the move away from coffee toward gentler, slower caffeine with an antioxidant story. Quality grades (ceremonial versus culinary), sourcing and price spread widely, which leaves room for brands, subscriptions, café concepts and tools such as whisks and frothers.

Confidence: high, three or more steady sources, from different companies, carry the line lately. How the grade works

Searches rise and fall with the season every year, peaking in April, so a growth window's percentage says more about where in the season it starts and ends than about the trend; compare the same weeks year on year.

Searches a month is the Pulse's reading now, in Google Ads' scale for the US; cost per click and ranking difficulty are Google Ads keyword estimates.
