Coffee is king, but Matcha Tea is queen, and she wears the pants. Both coffee and matcha tea contain caffeine. But that caffeine isn’t similar in the two beverages. In fact, it’s hugely different in the two. Whilst an average cup of coffee contains about 110-150 mg. of caffeine, an average cup (or in most cases, bowl) of matcha contains much less, about 50% less. The caffeine in matcha is known as Theophylline. It gets into the bloodstream and releases slowly, over a long period of time. Because matcha tea caffeine is released so slowly, it doesn’t give you a jittery rush, or an edgy feeling the way coffee’s caffeine does.
