These teas are made from earlier harvests which gives them a smoother flavor and more caffeine. Latte grade matcha is one of the lowest caffeine tea types in powdered form, much lower than ceremonial grade.Ĭeremonial grade matcha like the matcha seisui and matcha washimine are going to be quite high in caffeine. This means you can easily enjoy a nice matcha latte in the morning without overdoing it on the caffeine. With this latte grade matcha, you get 34 mg of caffeine per teaspoon of powder. While matcha has more caffeine compared to some of the other ones on this list, it doesn’t have as much as you might think. This still makes both of these stem teas quite low in caffeine and definitely suitable for those who are sensitive to it.įinally we come to the last tea on our list and that is Matcha Green Tea Latte. A regular Kukicha made from unshaded tea plants will have about 18 milligrams of caffeine per cup, but because Karigane is made from shaded tea plants, it can have up to 33 milligrams of caffeine. It also brings the caffeine content down, so you can enjoy it later on in the day. While many first time green tea drinkers find Gyokuro to be a bit overpowering, Karigane is a great beginners tea because it balances out the leaves with the stems. A good example of this is a tea like Karigane, made from the stems and leaves of the Gyokuro plant. Sometimes the addition of the stems can create a milder, more drinkable tea without these powerful vegetable notes. Teas made by combining stems and leaves are therefore much lower in caffeine, and they can have a unique flavor to them with notes of summer grass and straw. Because the leaves are more vulnerable, the caffeine is concentrated around the leaves and not the stems. The caffeine is produced by the tea plant in order to protect the leaves from the insects. Kukicha is another green tea with lowest caffeine.
