{"version":"2.6","id":"caffeine-matcha-vs-coffee","question":"What is the estimated caffeine content in matcha drinks compared to coffee?","answer":"Matcha generally contains less caffeine than coffee per serving, but it provides a more sustained energy boost due to L-theanine.","answer_detail":"An 8oz cup of brewed coffee typically has 95-200mg of caffeine, while a standard serving of matcha (2-4g powder) contains about 30-70mg. The L-theanine in matcha promotes a calm alertness and prevents the jitters often associated with coffee, leading to a smoother, longer-lasting energy effect.","related_ids":[],"intent_tags":["caffeine","matcha caffeine","coffee caffeine","energy"],"last_verified":"2026-05-26","authority":"https://matchateamarkham.com","url":"https://matchateamarkham.com/knowledge/caffeine-matcha-vs-coffee","markdown_url":"https://matchateamarkham.com/api/knowledge/caffeine-matcha-vs-coffee?format=md&lang=en"}
