FAQ About Matcha Latte
How does matcha latte compare to coffee in terms of caffeine content?
Matcha latte and coffee both contain caffeine, but the caffeine content in matcha latte is typically lower than that of coffee.
A cup of coffee (8 oz) can contain anywhere from 70mg to 200mg of caffeine, depending on the brewing method and type of coffee. In comparison, a cup of matcha latte (8 oz) typically contains around 30mg to 70mg of caffeine.
The caffeine in matcha is released slowly over time due to the presence of L-Theanine, an amino acid that can have a calming effect on the body. This slow release of caffeine can provide a more sustained energy boost compared to the rapid spike and crash often associated with coffee.
It's important to note that the caffeine content of matcha can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the matcha powder, the amount used, and the brewing method. Additionally, individual tolerance to caffeine can vary, so it's important to listen to your body and consume caffeine in moderation.
