Research suggests that the amino acids found within matcha can counteract the negative sleep impact often caused by consuming caffeine. Despite this, it is still crucial to understand your own body and tolerances to ensure you're not missing out on the zzzzzzzzzs. Caffeine from green tea lasts 4-6 hours, versus 1-2 hours from coffee or other energy drinks; the l-theanine in matcha regulates the absorption of caffeine into the body, helping to avoid the jitters and post-caffeine crash, it also stimulates the production of serotonin, dopamine and alpha brain waves, which help you feel less anxious and more relaxed; matcha is rich in antioxidants, and has one of the highest concentrations of any plant-based food (50x that of spinach); the combination of l-theanine and caffeine is scientifically proven to improve focus.The product is Europe’s first ever matcha green tea canned energy drink, AND it’s the first ever UK based energy drink to win a Great Taste Award. Grab a container that you can put your matcha drink into, tighten the lid and shake it. Keep doing so until the drink forms a nice frothy layer on the top, which shouldn't take more than a minute or two. If all else fails and there's no bottle or tool on hand, then you can rely on humanity's greatest instrument - our mind and muscles.

Matcha Green Tea Energy – Pineapple Yuzu: PerfectTed has blended citrusy yuzu with pineapple for a refreshing experience However, after trying a few matcha powders/drinks on the market, the trio were left feeling unsatisfied, and this was the start of the PerfectTed business.After six months sourcing the highest quality organic, ceremonial grade matcha from farms across Uji, Japan, they fused the powder with fruit juice for a "refreshing caffeine fix with a stable energy peak". Available in three unique flavour combinations (Pear Ginger, Apple Raspberry, and Pineapple Yuzu), the team sources its single origin, organic, ceremonial grade matcha from Uji, Japan. This premium quality matcha features a sweet, umami flavour, and a bright green hue (unlike poorer substitutes – which can be bitter, grassy, and insoluble). Marisa says she has long been aware of the relationship between food and the body. Aged 17 she had a tumour in her hip. “I really started to focus on my diet and healthy food, as what you put in your body is so intrinsically tied to your health.”

A Chasen is traditionally made from bamboo and has significantly more tines (prongs) than a standard metal whisk you may use when baking, for example. The increase in the number of tines helps create more froth and hence suspend the matcha particles more effectively. Other Ways to Make Matcha Marisa and Teddie met on their first day at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). They both went on to have successful careers in finance – Marisa in real estate finance with stints at Starwood Capital Group and Teddie worked as an associate consultant at Bain & Company. It was while putting in the long hours that they discovered the benefits of matcha as a healthy alternative to coffee. The drink is 100% natural with NO additives, preservatives, or added sugar, and each can contains 80mg of caffeine – as well as being 7 kcals per 100ml. Also, PerfectTed donates 1% of its sales to nonprofits.

There is often a debate about the best time to stop drinking caffeine. Some people will live and die by a 1 pm rule, while others take a more relaxed stance and are happy to have caffeine after dinner. Our drinks are made from organic, ceremonial grade matcha sourced directly from local farms in Uji, Japan, REAL fruit juices (not from concentrate), and British water. It's that simple.
