i love love love coffee but i seriously cannot drink it; hurts my sensitive stomach and makes me vibrate with anxiety. matcha provides such a gentle boost that helps you feel alert! here are some of my favorite matcha spots: -kettl tea (greenpoint)
-matchaful (their soft serve in the summer is amaze)
-sorate (soho)
-iāmilky (try their strawberry milk asap too š¤¤)
-cafe cotton bean (cobble hill, sweetest lil cafe ever)
-debutea
-hungry ghost
i am into matcha over coffee because i prefer the taste actually!!! maybe itās an acquired one but i adore it nowā¦ as well i cannot handle the amount of caffeine in one iced latte so having a matcha latte gives me my fix without making me jittery and irate :p
since coffee's been making my tum hurt, I buy those little matcha packets from Trader Joe's, shake them up in a jar with water, then add a bunch of vanilla extract and maple syrup. caffeine high + sugar high w/no tummy ache. gorgeous.
They say the l-theanine content in the matcha helps to reduce the cortisol spike from the caffeine and that it has a calming effect on the brain. Thereās nothing like a good cup of coffee donāt get me wrong, and like David Lynch said āeven a bad cup of coffee is better than no coffee at allā but matcha in the morning gives me the same caffeine hit without that jittery buzz. I think itās something about the beans that hits differently. Iāll typically take an l-theanine supplement along side my coffee if I choose to have it, but I find Matcha a lot smoother and green tea naturally contains this wonderful amino acid - so naturally, itās my first choice whenever possible.
