Ok sorry for the long post. Just throwing this out there as a few people ask about getting into matcha.
This is teavana's matcha. "Imperial grade" seems to be thier naming scheme to make it sound better. Generally there is culinary grade, which is lower grade and generally used in cooking, ice cream, cakes, lattes and etc. Then there is ceremonial grade which is higher grade and use in the tea ceremony. There are many grades of ceremonial itself depending on how its grown, type of tea plant, location, time of harvest, etc etc. Looking on their site at this is the 80g for $34.95. At that price I would have to expect this is not really that high quality. 80g is a shitload of matcha.
http://www.o-cha.com/matcha.htm This small explanation may answer a few questions for you. You can also buy tea from there and the owner is very knowledgeable.
http://yuuki-cha.com/ Is another site if you want quality tea from Japan.
If you want to stay in the US you can buy some on Amazon. I have had the DoMatcha ceremonial grade and it was pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/DoMatcha-Green-Organic-Matcha-1-0-Ounce/dp/B0019FOZC4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1374065899&sr=8-2&keywords=matcha.
for the OP I would recommend getting a wider bowl so you can whisk the tea better and get an actual froth. From the picture the cup used seems pretty narrow and curved at the bottom.
Here is a short video you can see it being prepared https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY_XEn7aIrA
The times I have had matcha in Japan it was fairly thick and frothy. Some people may find it too bitter for their taste. You can thin it out a bit with more water if you find it so.

Getting started with matcha is so awesome! I've been drinking it in the morning with breakfast for almost a full year now, and knock on my fake-wood desk, I haven't gotten sick at all (except for that one sinus infection when I stopped drinking it for two weeks...whoops).
I think you are selling yourself short if taste isn't as important to you. I feel high quality matcha is better for you, but maybe I'm just overthinking things. I would give this one a shot since it claims to be ceremonial grade, it's 4oz, AND it's barely over $20. That sounds like a steal.
I have matcha every morning. Tea ceremony purists would probably faint over my routine, but it's pretty quick for me and it still tastes lovely.

theres a bunch of them out there, i think most matcha is just ground leaves. my favorite right now is domatcha organic ceremonial.
I was pretty happy with my Domatcha that I got on amazon. There's a similar product by the same company but it's second flush , so it's cheaper (note the larger container size for a few bucks more) but supposedly just as good. I'm thinking of trying that one next.
A.) Can I buy it with Prime from Amazon?
B.) Does honey make it taste better?
C.) Because you sound experienced and I'm being lazy: could you give me a 30 second how-to on brewing it?
Much love.
EDIT: I'm looking at this It does look a tad expensive, how much would that jar last me? What am I getting myself into.
