who the FUCK made matcha that expensive and can i fight them

i like matcha. i think "hm. maybe i should make a matcha cake." i go online to my very white local grocery store's website. and 5 grams of matcha is 15 freedom eagles. i imagine this is because it's very very white. they have a single aisle for latino food and a single aisle for asian food. the rest is, apparently, food from the usa. yes of course cocoa grows in the usa don't worry about it. so anyway i go onto hmart's website. i search matcha powder. yippee! i can buy bigger quantities of matcha at once. except it's MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE WHITE GROCERY STORE? IT'S TWENTY SIX DOLLARS? FOR THE SAME AMOUNT? AND IF I WANT A BIGGER BAG THEN IT'S EVEN MORE? THEY SHOULD LET ME BITE PEOPLE
