| Comparison Metric | Single-Origin Ethiopian Espresso | Uji Ceremonial Grade Matcha |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine Content (native serving) | 64 mg / serving | 70 mg / serving |
| Acidity Profile | High Acidity | Low Acidity |
| Key Physiological Effect | Cognitive Speed & AlertnessCaffeine blocks adenosine receptors, which reliably reduces perceived tiredness and shortens reaction time. The effect is on how alert you feel, not on how rested you are. | L-Theanine Alongside CaffeineL-theanine does not slow caffeine absorption and does not reduce the dose that reaches you. Trials pairing the two report better sustained attention and fewer self-reported jitters than caffeine alone, which is a difference in how the same dose is experienced. |
| Use caution / consider | Individuals with severe Acid Reflux (GERD) due to high titratable acidity. | Avoid consuming on a completely empty stomach if prone to nausea due to high tannin concentration. |

Describe the cup you want
Set the five axes to whatever you are after and the catalogue reorders by how close each drink sits to it. Because coffee, tea and botanicals are all scored the same way, the answer can come back from any of them.

How this is calculated: each drink is five numbers — sweetness, acidity, bitterness, body and aroma, each scored 0–100. The match is the straight-line (Euclidean) distance between your five numbers and the drink's, rescaled so 0 distance reads as 100% and the furthest possible corner of the space (a distance of about 224) reads as 0%. All five axes are weighted equally, no axis is adjusted by category, and nothing else — price, popularity, rating — enters the calculation. The axis scores themselves are editorial judgements, so this measures shape, not quality: a 70% match is a drink built like the one you described, and whether you like it is a different question.Compare any two head to head.
Global Caffeine Milligram Bar Matrix
Compare the catalog’s stated caffeine per native serving, then open any row for the full recipe and safety context.
How to read this: values are the editorial catalog’s stated amount per native serving. Serving sizes vary between products, so this is not a normalized per-ounce comparison.
