Is there a good type of matcha to have without milk or is it really meant to be mixed with something? I've briefly tried not the highest quality matcha by itself in the past and it was rough on my stomach. I normally enjoy fasting in the mornings with a black coffee as part of my intermittent fasting routine. This past week enjoying cold green tea every morning reminded me that I want to test out taking routine breaks from coffee. This week I've been recovering from being sick and I'm letting my stomach rest from more acidic coffee. An alternative to morning matcha could be iced green teas which have felt good on the stomach. Much appreciated! 🙏🏻🍵🫖

Matcha can be either koi or usui and they call it ceremonial grade in English but there is no such thing in Japanese as a category itself. There are many shades and grades of matcha from the first season to last but I think is becoming more a marketing point to sell it. Normally matcha with hot water is a bit heavy on empty stomach. Matcha latte too a bit heavy for breakfast. I drink sencha or jasmine tea instead every morning. and sencha is especially good for upset stomach.

Thank you! I knew you'd have the answers. Good to know it wasn't just me picking out the wrong morning matcha. I'll find a good looking whole leaf sencha or jasmine for my mornings to brew in my travel filter and save matcha with milk for the afternoons. It's useful to know sencha is better for stomachs too.
