Choosing between matcha and coffee can feel like an impossible decision, they’re both incredible in their own unique ways! ☕🍵 Whether you crave coffee’s energizing jolt or matcha’s calm, focused energy, each has its time and place. Why choose when you can enjoy the perks of both? Life’s too short not to have a little of everything you love! 💫
So lets break it down 👇
The Case for Coffee ☕
Ah, coffee - she's iconic and timeless. She's bold, dependable and delivers quick instant energy when you need it 💪. The caffeine in coffee works quickly, helping you power through early-morning workouts, late-night deadlines or just the chaos that can be life. BUT coffee isn't just a quick fix; it's a multitasking marvel. Rich in antioxidants, it helps fight inflammation and support overall heath. Plus, it's a social superstar - what's better than a coffee catch up with the girls?
Best for:
💤 Kickstarting your day when you are feeling sluggish
🏊♀️ The pre-swim pep in your step
🫂A warm hug in a mug on cooler mornings
Matcha: The Zen warrior 🍵
Matcha is having a major moment right now (hello, strawberry matcha latte!) becoming a go-to drink for health enthusiasts and coffee lovers alike, thanks to its natural energy boosts and health benefits. Instead of a caffeine spike, matcha gives you a gentle, sustained energy boost 🔋. Why? Because it contains L-theanine, an amino acid that calms your mind while keeping you alert - a perfect balance of zen and focus 🧘♀️
Beyond its mellow energy vibes, matcha is a powerhouse of antioxidants, particularly EGCG, which supports skin health, boosts metabolism, and helps your body recover from long workouts or sun-soaked beach days ☀️.
Best for:
😌 Staying calm and focused during long study sessions or workdays.
🧘♀️ Pre-yoga, or post-swim relaxation
❤️ Supporting heart health through reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides
Coffee and Matcha can co-exist 🫶
Here's the good news: you don't have to pick a side. Think of coffee as your go-to for high-energy mornings and matcha as your chill-out companion for afternoons when you need focus without jitters.
Double up: Start your day with a coffee, then switch to matcha when you need a mental reset.
Get creative: Matcha lattes in the morning and an iced coffee as a post-swim pick-me-up? Yes, please.
Blend the best of both: Ever heard of a dirty matcha? It's matcha with a shot of espresso - a wild combo that gives you the best of both worlds!
Which one is for you? 🤸
The beauty of coffee and match is that they are adaptable to your lifestyle. Whether you're fuelling up for a sunrise surf🏄♀️, or winding down with a book 📖 by the pool, each has its place. No judgement, no rivalry - just two delicious drinks helping you crush your day, one sip at a time.
As with anything, moderation is key! Both coffee and matcha are amazing tools to energise, focus, or relax, but it’s all about listening to your body and keeping your intake within a healthy range (1-3 cups daily). We all have different tolerances so keep this in mind when you are enjoying your daily cuppa. When enjoyed responsibly, these two drinks are absolute game-changers for your daily grind.
So go on Queen 👑 - mix it up, find your flow and enjoy the best of both worlds. Because whether you're sipping on coffee or matcha, you're unstoppable.
Love always, JAYD 💓
