since coffee's been making my tum hurt, I buy those little matcha packets from Trader Joe's, shake them up in a jar with water, then add a bunch of vanilla extract and maple syrup. caffeine high + sugar high w/no tummy ache. gorgeous.
i love love love coffee but i seriously cannot drink it; hurts my sensitive stomach and makes me vibrate with anxiety. matcha provides such a gentle boost that helps you feel alert! here are some of my favorite matcha spots:
-kettl tea (greenpoint)
-matchaful (their soft serve in the summer is amaze)
-sorate (soho)
-i’milky (try their strawberry milk asap too 🤤)
-cafe cotton bean (cobble hill, sweetest lil cafe ever)
-debutea
-hungry ghost
i am into matcha over coffee because i prefer the taste actually!!! maybe it’s an acquired one but i adore it now… as well i cannot handle the amount of caffeine in one iced latte so having a matcha latte gives me my fix without making me jittery and irate :p
