The Ingredients That Make This Chocolate Matcha Latte So Powerful
Matcha, a gem in the world of green teas, leads the way with its unparalleled antioxidant content and natural caffeine. This tea imparts a gentle, sustained energy boost that's notably different from the jitters often associated with coffee. Plus, the abundance of brain and metabolism-supporting compounds in Matcha are believed to contribute towards overall longevity.
Our recipe gets a dose of delicious decadence from raw cacao (pronounced "ca-cow"), which is chocolate in its most natural and unsweetened form. This superfood is not only a treasure trove of beneficial antioxidants but also offers a complex, smooth, and slightly bittersweet flavor profile. Bonus? Cacao is known to be naturally uplifting and energizing, and it even has mood-enhancing properties.
We also include a touch of cinnamon, a spice long-cherished for its potential in managing blood sugar levels and supporting heart health.
So as you can see, this concoction packs a real punch!

Adjust the amounts of Matcha and cacao to suit your personal preferences. If you’ve never had Matcha before, start with ½ teaspoon. It has more caffeine than a regular cup of green tea, so start low and adjust based on what your body likes. Even though the caffeine in Matcha is a smoother ride than coffee, it’s still caffeine, so pay attention to how your body responds.Â
