1. Smooth transition

Switch from coffee to matcha in 5 steps

Going without coffee can feel like the worst hangover morning. Therefore, it's essential to find a gentle transition to avoid putting too much stress on your body. I recommend replacing one of your daily coffees with a matcha latte for the first two days. Then, gradually increase by one matcha latte per day until you've completely replaced your coffee by the end of the week.

2. The correct preparation

Proper preparation is important to ensure that the first matcha latte is a complete success in terms of taste:

Add milk

With the Pour the matcha into frothed milk and enjoy.

3. Not all milk is the same

The milk plays a major role in the flavor of matcha, and there are many differences between brands. Ideally, you should try a few until you find your personal favorite. I love plant-based barista milk. There are some very tasty oat or soy milk options available.

4. Initially more milk than water in the preparation

For matcha beginners, I would always recommend using less water for mixing and more frothed milk. The proportions can be adjusted later as desired. My go-to mix is now 50% water, 50% frothed milk, and I love it. Initially, though, I also needed more milk than water.

5. Raise awareness

Keep reminding yourself why the change is important. For me, the benefits were a compelling argument after just 1-2 weeks, and that motivated me even more to stick with matcha. I felt clearer and more focused without the typical coffee crash. Lately, I'd definitely noticed that coffee was taking more from me than it was giving me.
