❓ How late in the day can I drink matcha without affecting sleep?

To avoid sleep disruption, avoid drinking matcha after 2 PM if you're sensitive to caffeine. For most people, the caffeine in matcha has a half-life of 4-6 hours, meaning it takes this long for your body to eliminate half of the caffeine consumed.

Since matcha contains approximately 70mg of caffeine per serving (about the same as a shot of espresso), drinking it too late can interfere with your natural sleep-wake cycle. If you go to bed at 10 PM, consuming matcha after 2-3 PM could impact your sleep quality.

Consider these factors:

• Caffeine sensitivity: Some people metabolize caffeine slower than others
• Bedtime: Earlier sleepers should stop matcha consumption earlier
• Individual tolerance: Regular matcha drinkers may have higher tolerance

If you're unsure about your sensitivity, start by stopping matcha consumption at noon and adjust based on your sleep quality.
