Matcha vs Coffee: Which One Has More Caffeine?

Coffee usually contains more caffeine compared to matcha. A normal cup of coffee can have around 80–120 mg of caffeine, while one serving of matcha usually has around 60–70 mg. This means coffee can give a stronger and faster energy boost, especially for people who need to stay awake or feel more alert quickly.

However, matcha gives a smoother type of energy because it contains L-theanine, which helps the body feel calm while still being focused. Unlike coffee, which can sometimes make people feel shaky or anxious, matcha may feel gentler and more balanced. So, even though coffee is more caffeinated, matcha can still be a good choice for those who want steady energy without feeling too jittery.
