I'll be honest with you - I love coffee, but it doesn't love me. Whenever I drink my go-to iced oat caramel latte, I enjoy the delicious taste for about ten minutes before I start noticing the other less desirable effects starting to creep in (if you're sensitive to caffeine, you'll know the drill). That's why, when I read about the benefits of matcha earlier this year, I was intrigued.
When I drink coffee, I notice my heart rate increase and my hands get shaky, not to mention an anxious jittery feeling in my chest and the pit of my stomach. While I've no doubt I'm more sensitive to caffeine than the average person, I was not enjoying the side effects.
