Matcha is tea powder basically - they powder the leaf so you're drinking the leaf in the tea. It's prepared in one of two ways generally: Usucha, where you get a thinner liquid by putting in fewer scoops, or Koicha, where you put enough powder in to make a thick drink. Both are more bitter than you'd probably be accustomed to. They're good in their own ways, but you'll want to read up on and possibly try a smaller amount of matcha before committing to a lot of it.
Here's a mediocre-quality sounding sencha for <$20 for a pound:

Or Stash for just under $20 for a pound: http://www.amazon.com/Stash-Tea-Premium-Green-Loose/dp/B006LXKK46/
This one is a bit cheaper per oz but you'll have to commit to 4.4lbs of it in one go: http://www.amazon.com/Shirakiku-Green-Sencha-2-2-Pound-Packages/dp/B001AYDFJ8/
I've had matcha before, the good stuff is well expensive (fine powder, not tea bags) and tastes like fresly cut grass but keeps you awake and alert for hours.
When you say 'make it at home', do you just mean put a green tea bag in hot water?
Anyway, you have two options, either green tea bags or tea leaves. Tea leaves are a bit of a faf as you need tea strainers which can be cumbersome to clean. Here's a viking boat tea strainer. 200g will probably last a long time though.
Hope that helps
