How much caffeine does Matcha Green Tea have compared to coffee?
One of the most commonly asked question we have received is “How much caffeine does matcha green tea contain?” In brief, a single serving of Matcha, which is about 1 gram of matcha, contains approximately 34mg of caffeine, much less than a cup of coffee. This is seen by most as only a small measure of caffeine and is much less than the caffeine common adults are consuming on a daily basis. A maximum intake of 400 mg is considered safe for an adult on a daily basis, though this may vary from person to person.Despite its small level of caffeine, it is evident that drinkers of matcha green tea can see a boost in alertness soon after consumption.
