Matcha vs. Coffee
LET’S COMPARE MATCHA AND COFFEE
I truly love both matcha and coffee. Depending on the day, weather, activities, to-do list, etc, the morning will call for one or the other. Matcha has been on the up-trend in the wellness scene, as people are realizing the benefits. And while coffee remains tried and true in many folks’ morning routine, I’d say matcha is giving it a run for its money. Let’s list the pros and cons of both.
MATCHA FACTS
Fights cancer. Literally. There are antioxidants in matcha that inhibit the growth of cancer within the body.
Less jitters. Matcha gives you a focused, calm energy.
No crash. The come-down from this subtle caffeine high is smoooth and gradual.
Expensive. The higher quality, the more expensive. But this goes for anything in life, right?
COFFEE FACTS
Boosts physical performance. There’s a buzz from coffee unlike any other, that gives the body such a boost of energy. I love it before a workout.
Extreme focus. But only for a few hours at a time.
The crash. After the buzz wears off, you may feel tired and unmotivated, wanting another cup. And the cycle repeats. Try not to give in to the second/third/fourth cup! Your nervous system goes into overdrive.
All kinds of price points. Whether it’s cheap or high quality, there’s a coffee for everyone.
I am, by no means, an expert in this area, but I do love my morning routine of making a matcha or coffee, depending on the day. Pick your player, and enjoy the ritual. Please reach out if you have specific questions — I’d love to chat!
