Did you know there can actually be more caffeine in matcha than coffee?! 🍵
At Olivet, we use 4 g of matcha per serving. Our matcha contains about 35 mg of caffeine per gram, which means there’s approximately 140 mg of caffeine in an Olivet matcha latte!
For comparison, a single shot of espresso contains around 60–75 mg of caffeine. ☕️
So why can matcha feel different from coffee?
That’s where L-theanine comes in. Matcha naturally contains L-theanine, an amino acid that may contribute to the smoother, more sustained feeling people associate with matcha.
More caffeine doesn’t necessarily mean the same experience. 🍵✨
