Matcha and coffee.
Choose today’s cup by how you feel.
Both matcha and coffee contain caffeine. Amounts and individual responses vary, so rather than treating one as better, choose according to your day, the time and the flavour you want.
Begin with the flavour you want
Matcha is powdered tea leaf mixed with water and enjoyed as it is. Coffee is commonly made by extracting roasted beans. Aroma, bitterness, sweetness and mouthfeel can guide your choice.
Choose the preparation you have time for
Some days call for the small ritual of whisking a bowl; on others, you may want to make coffee with your familiar equipment. Choose a process that suits the moment.
Consider amount and time of day for caffeine
Caffeine content varies by product, serving size and preparation. If it matters to you, check product information and adjust your intake for your condition and bedtime.
Find your own preference, one cup at a time
Noticing the aroma and texture of matcha, or roast and brewing differences in coffee, can help you learn what you enjoy. If a drink does not feel right for you, consult a health professional.
