We all need an energy boost every now and then – but how we get it matters. Coffee is known for its quick kick, but many people experience crashes, jitters and unstable energy. Matcha, on the other hand, provides a smoother, more focused energy – and more and more people are choosing this green alternative.
In this post, we compare matcha and coffee, and look at why matcha, especially in liquid form from Chagit, can be the best source of natural energy in everyday life.
What is matcha?
Matcha is finely ground green tea made from whole leaves of the tea plant, grown in the shade to preserve its nutrients. When you drink matcha, you consume the entire leaf – which gives it a much higher content of antioxidants, L-theanine and caffeine than regular green tea.
Caffeine – but in two completely different ways
| Matcha (1 serving) | Coffee (1 cup) | |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine | Approximately 30–70 mg | Approximately 80–120 mg |
| Recording | Gradually | Quickly |
| Duration of effect | 4–6 hours | 1–3 hours |
| Risk of crash | Low | High |
While coffee gives a quick but short-lived kick, matcha provides steady and long-lasting energy – thanks to the synergy between caffeine and L-theanine.
5 benefits of matcha over coffee
1. Smooth energy without crashing
Matcha provides slow release of caffeine and reduces the risk of "caffeine crash".
2. Increased mental clarity and focus
The content of L-theanine supports relaxed concentration and counteracts restlessness.
3. Powerful antioxidant protection
Matcha is rich in EGCG, one of nature's most effective antioxidants.
4. Gentle on the stomach
Matcha is less acidic than coffee and may be better for those with sensitive digestion.
5. Supports fat burning
Several studies show that matcha can increase thermogenesis and support weight loss.

Fun Fact
Matcha was used by Japanese monks before meditation – precisely because it provides calm, alert focus without restlessness. A cup of matcha before an important task gives you both a sharp mind and stable energy.
In summary
Both coffee and matcha contain caffeine – but their effects on the body are very different. While coffee can provide a quick wake-up call, it often leads to a crash and jitters. Matcha, on the other hand, provides a steady, lasting energy boost, combined with mental clarity and reduced stress.
With liquid matcha from Chagit, you get all the benefits – without the preparation and without the crash.
