""Usually the effects of too much matcha are associated with the excess caffeine. The effects are amplified in those with caffeine sensitivity, which come with effects including lack of sleep, jitters, irritability, and higher heart rate.""
""Having more than five servings of matcha daily could be too much for most people. A serving is defined as 1 teaspoon, so five would equal 350 milligrams of caffeine in your cup.""
Matcha is rich in antioxidants and amino acids, beneficial for health, but it contains high caffeine levels. Consuming too much can lead to negative effects, especially for those sensitive to caffeine, including sleep issues and increased heart rate. Experts recommend limiting matcha to five servings daily, equating to 350 milligrams of caffeine. Additionally, matcha's polyphenols may hinder iron absorption, presenting another reason to moderate intake.
