Matcha & Caffeine:
The caffeine in Matcha works its magic in mysterious ways. It gives us ZenErgy.
Many of us enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning because it ensures that we’ll have the energy necessary to plow through the day. But what we don't plan for is the sudden energy crash! Why does this happen? The caffeine supply runs out! Your external battery has died.

Brings out ZenErgy. You gain more energy in a steady manner. When caffeine levels start to drop, your body has time to adjust to its own supply. Think about it like this, you’ve been using your external battery while charging your internal battery.
The result?
Think of Matcha as a clean hit of caffeine. A calm & steady alertness, without the rush & crash.
