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.
