Questions

Matcha caffeine, answered

How much caffeine is in 2 g of matcha?

About 68 mg, based on roughly 34 mg of caffeine per gram of matcha. That is a mid-range published estimate; the real figure varies with the cultivar, the harvest and how much of the bowl you drink.

How does matcha caffeine compare with coffee?

A standard 2 g bowl is around 68 mg against roughly 95 mg for a mug of drip coffee, so a bowl is closer to two thirds of a coffee than to an espresso.

What is L-theanine and how much is in a bowl?

L-theanine is the amino acid shade-grown tea is rich in, and it is why matcha reads as calm alertness rather than a spike. A 2 g bowl carries roughly 50 mg.

When does the daily tracker reset?

At midnight on your own device. The tracker counts the bowls you have logged since then, so a bowl at 23:50 and one at 00:10 belong to different days. Nothing is deleted at the reset; the journal keeps every entry.
