I'm ready for a second cup at the moment but might steep this bag of matcha instead. so-so matcha in front of me, or expensive but nice coffee down the street?
Yep, coffeee free for essentially all of 2021.
Deep in the heart of Intellegentsiana, no less. Admirable self control.

I just picked up a container of some ceremonial stuff cut with brown rice tea. I would have preferred pure matcha powder, but the price for this quantity was too good to pass up. Should make like 32 cups...
Aside from the occasional espresso on errands, I've been off coffee caffeine for about a month now.

Mixing matcha with topo chico mineral water or waterloo pineapple sparkling water has been an absolute jam lately. Is this a common thing or did I just invent your new favorite tea? When you pour the whisked matcha into the carbonated water and the green stuff bubbles and froths at the top, it's just such a sensory spectacle.

Lol, first two ingredients are dextrose and sucrose. Matcha’s like the eighth ingredient, after added flavors and other stuff. Highly processed food masquerading as healthy.

I am skeptical too, except that those ingredients are engineered to metabolize fast and get the carbs and caffeine to you without digestive issues. Fuel you will burn through on a run with double digit mileage.
Trust me, there's much scarier stuff out there. And you can't exactly consume and quickly digest a bagel with peanut butter and banana 45 minutes into a run.

Yeah I guess if you’re looking for running fuel, maybe it’s fine. I don’t know about that stuff very well. When I do run (not often enough), I don’t eat anything but I’m rarely doing more than 45 mins and literally never more than an hour.

Basically, I'm in the market for some as close to natural as I can get gel/powder to experiment with before a race in March and the matcha caffeine in this stuff piqued my interest. It comes highly recommended by a lot of running/ultra reviewers I read and an RM search of the stuff includes glowing endorsement from the cardio crowd in the running thread.
Still, I'd rather just run on raisins and chia but I'm open to trying out the high octane stuff if it gets the job done more efficiently.
