How much caffeine is in Matcha Latte?

Each 12 oz (355 ml), 2g matcha serving contains approximately 70 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for Matcha Latte?

Target 80°C (176°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Matcha Latte be extracted?

Extract for 0:30 whisking using Chasen Whisk then Steamed Milk, at a ratio of 2g matcha to 60ml water, plus 240ml milk, prepared at Powder. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Matcha Latte taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Matcha Latte?

The whole leaf is consumed, so caffeine per gram is higher than for an infusion of the same weight. Contains dairy unless made with a plant alternative. Café versions are frequently pre-sweetened; the sugar is often not stated.

Where it sits

Stronger than 224 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 116.

That is 70 mg in a 12 oz (355 ml), 2g matcha serving — a concentration of 19.7 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
