Mighty Matcha

The caffeine levels of this tea are estimated by our Leaf Tea Experts.  The more teacups, the stronger the suggested caffeine level!

To make: Put 1/2 tsp of matcha powder into the bowl. Mix with a few drops of cold water to form a paste then add 30ml 80 degree water (or your liquid of choice – orange juice works well too) into a mug or bowl then lightly whisk in a W shape until frothy. Add more matcha or a squeeze of honey to taste.
