Matcha Made Better
Hands up if you are a certified coffee aficionado.
I’ve been there. As a busy mom and business owner, I drank three or more cups of coffee daily to feel sane. But every time I had coffee, three things happened: my stomach hurt, I felt jittery, and my anxiety was on high alert. It wasn’t enjoyable!
I needed to find an alternative. I had always known matcha’s health benefits, but it was so traditional and time-consuming. Not something that fits my lifestyle or tastebuds. The flavored and sweetened matcha in the stores were packed with sugar and other artificial ingredients, which are absolute no’s for me. There had to be a better way.
With our wellness tea connections, I started exploring how we could make matcha better for those who don’t like matcha but want all the goodness. We played around with flavoring using real ingredients and sweetening with alternatives like organic stevia.
The result – matcha that actually tastes good!
Join me and countless others on the move from coffee to matcha. You’ll feel better, have more “zen” like energy, and you get to be creative with all the ways you can use matcha.

Matcha has It aLL
We’re not saying coffee is bad, but matcha is way better! Matcha gives the same caffeine boost (better in our opinion), has more health benefits, is easier on the stomach, and will give you a “zen” like energy.

Matcha might have less caffeine than coffee and energy drinks, but it has a secret weapon: L-theanine. This magical amino acid slows the release of caffeine in the body. You feel alert, energized, but relaxed. Way different than the jitters from coffee.
Bonus: this feeling lasts longer – up to 6 hours!

With some of the highest antioxidant content in any food source, matcha is full of catechins, flavonoids, and polyphenols, all important to neutralize cell damage that may lead to cancer or cardiovascular disease.

7-day guide
are You readY to make the SWitCh?
Use this guide to transition from coffee to matcha in only one week. You’ll feel better, and you’ll be doing more for your health.
Tips Before You Start
• Heavy coffee drinker? Don’t quit cold turkey, start by cutting your coffee intake in half and replacing the other half with matcha.
• Stay hydrated! Matcha is a diuretic (just like coffee), so make sure you’re drinking water, and it will help the habit stick.
• Be kind to yourself. New habits are not always easy, and it takes time for your body to adjust. Just remember your “why” and all the benefits you’re going to be rewarded with!
DAY ONE
You get coffee today – but record how you feel after drinking it.
In the afternoon, prepare a matcha, we suggest a Fizzy Matcha Sour or an iced matcha latte, to replace your afternoon coffee or energy drink.
DAY TWO
In the morning, try a mixed “dirty” matcha - that’s half coffee, half matcha. Choosing a Sweet Matcha flavor like chocolate, vanilla, or salted caramel will blend perfectly with your coffee.
Add an afternoon matcha to the rotation. Try something different than the previous day, like a Fizzy Matcha Slushie or a Matcha Margarita (non-alcoholic).
DAY THREE
Morning matcha time! Try one of our “matcha 3 ways” recipes. If you love a hot cup of joe, we recommend the hot latte version. If you’re more cold brew, try matcha iced. If you’re feeling withdrawals by the afternoon – try a matcha snack recipe like No Bake Matcha Energy Bites or Matcha Raspberry Oat Muffin
DAY FOUR
Make sure you’re staying hydrated and drink lots of water (not just matcha).
Try a scoop of matcha in your smoothie for breakfast as an added caffeine kick. This can either replace your morning beverage or be an addition to a nice hot matcha latte.
Check in on how you’re feeling in the afternoon. The long lasting effects of matcha might mean you don’t have caffeine withdrawals. If you do, try making a Fizzy Matcha Sour for a boost. Add a bit of lemonade to amp up the flavor.
DAY FIVE
Continue with matcha in the morning – no coffee!
How’s your body feeling? If you’re still experiencing caffeine withdrawal symptoms, you might need an extra serving of matcha to get you going.
DAY SIX
You’re in the routine now! Now you’re dreaming about matcha instead of coffee every night. Treat yourself with either the Matcha Donuts or Matcha “Nice” Cream. (We’re so proud of you!)
DAY SEVEN
Congratulations! You’ve made it a whole week without coffee!
Hardcore coffee drinkers may still be in a “withdrawal phase.” But keep going, your matcha journey has just begun! Continue to explore new recipes and unique ways to enjoy matcha.
