Matcha has been an important part of Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries, and now—much like cannabidiol (CBD)—matcha is having a moment in the Western world’s wellness spotlight. And it’s with good reason: Made of specially grown and finely ground green tea leaves, matcha is high in caffeine, but it’s also high in an amino acid called theanine.
\nA few studies actually show that the combination of caffeine and theanine can boost mood and focus in ways that are different than just having caffeine alone. And some small studies suggest that theanine can help reduce stress and anxiety.

\nMatcha lattes are always a good choice. But if it’s hot outside, an iced matcha latte can really hit the spot. And what better way to up your enjoyment and the health benefits of matcha than by adding some CBD to your drink?
