Spoiler alert: This is not a caffeine story. In fact, matcha\ncontains far less caffeine than your average cup of coffee and yet still gets\nthe job done \u2013 minus the jitters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s in a matcha latte? Finely ground green tea leaves, warm water and frothed milk \u2013 that\u2019s all. A matcha latte, much like a caffe latte, will have a milky texture and natural sweetness but with a green tea taste and vegetal finish. Want to sip something even sweeter? Replace your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/tea-by-type\/matcha-tea\/?prefn1=teaBlend&amp;prefv1=12\"><u>traditional matcha<\/u><\/a> with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/tea-by-type\/matcha-tea\/?prefn1=teaBlend&amp;prefv1=13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>flavoured matcha drink mix<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to try a matcha latte for yourself, we make them in <a href=\"https:\/\/locations.davidstea.com\/\"><u>our stores<\/u><\/a> or you can craft your own from the comfort of home. Either way, we think you\u2019re going to love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\"
