Estimated at about 34 mg of caffeine and 25 mg of L-theanine per gram of matcha. Cultivar, grade and harvest all move the real figure, so treat these as a guide, not a measurement. Not medical advice.

Method

  1. Pull a single espresso shot of about 30ml and let it cool slightly.

  2. Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl and add 30ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius.

  3. Whisk for 15 seconds until smooth.

  4. Fill a glass with ice and pour in 180ml of cold oat milk.

  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of simple syrup if desired.

  6. Add the matcha next, then carefully float the espresso on top.

Pour the espresso slowly over the back of a spoon to keep the layers visible. The espresso shot adds about 63mg of caffeine on top of the matcha.Almanac note

Made it?

Keep the ratio that worked

The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free for up to 1,000 bowls on this device. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
