What caffeine in matcha means
Because the whole leaf is consumed, matcha delivers more caffeine per gram than steeped green tea. Published assays and producer disclosures from Ippodo and Mizuba converge on roughly 30 to 40 milligrams of caffeine per gram of matcha powder, with about 34 milligrams per gram as a common reference point. A standard 2 gram usucha therefore lands near 60 to 70 milligrams of caffeine, comparable to a small cup of drip coffee.
