How it compares
Matcha (traditional bowl) 70 mg
Green tea (8 oz) 28 mg
Black tea (8 oz) 47 mg
Brewed coffee (8 oz) 96 mg
Monster (16 oz) 160 mg
Bang (16 oz) 300 mg
Roughly a standard cup of coffee's worth. Fine in the morning; for an average metabolizer, finish it a few hours before bed. At 70 mg per 2 g powder / 8 oz, this drink is 18% of the FDA's 400 mg daily ceiling for healthy adults.
You consume the whole leaf, so matcha delivers caffeine plus L-theanine — the 'calm alert' pairing.
