Ceremonial matcha is meant to be enjoyed on its own or in a latte; culinary matcha is made for baking and cooking. There is no official standard, so origin, color and taste are what to judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much caffeine is in matcha?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA teaspoon (about 2 g) of matcha usually contains about 40 to 90 mg of caffeine, depending on the leaf and how much you use. For comparison, an 8 oz cup of brewed coffee has about 75 to 165 mg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat water temperature should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e160 to 175°F (70 to 80°C).
