How many of you are drinking Matcha? It's a green tea powder, but made with young tea leaves that are grown in the shade.

I just started drinking it a few weeks ago, and have to say I love it. I make it with some frothed milk. Very yummy.

I was just reading about the health benefits of Matcha here:

how is the caffeine level?..or do you pour off the first minute's worth like with reg green tea?

Matcha has about 34mg of caffeine, while coffee has about 95mg.

Rita, do you use http://zengreentea.com.au Matcha?

I'm concerned about the caffeine. I drink 2 cups of 1/2 caff coffee in the morning...then 1 cup of decaf green tea (from tea leaves) late morning. I seldom drink any other tea. I drink water with meals...wine with dinner.

What brand are you drinking? I'm really interested because it says it helps with inflammation. Thanks!

I'm still a newbie matcha drinker, so I'm can't recommend a brand per se, but the one I have is Adiago Tea
