FAQ About Matcha Latte
What is the caffeine content of matcha latte?
The caffeine content of a matcha latte can vary depending on several factors, such as the amount of matcha powder used, the type of milk used, and the size of the latte. However, as a general guideline, a typical 8-ounce serving of matcha latte made with 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and 8 ounces of milk contains approximately 30-50 mg of caffeine.
The caffeine content of matcha is lower than that of coffee, but higher than that of regular green tea. However, because matcha also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which has a calming effect on the body, many people find that the caffeine in matcha provides a sustained and focused energy boost, without the jitters or crash that can come with coffee or other caffeinated beverages.
It's important to keep in mind that individual sensitivity to caffeine can vary, and some people may be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than others. If you are sensitive to caffeine or have a medical condition that affects your tolerance for caffeine, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine how much caffeine is safe for you to consume.
