7 Brew Matcha Latte
At 7 Brew, the Matcha Latte is made with finely ground Japanese green tea powder with steamed milk, creating a creamy, slightly sweet beverage that is both energizing and soothing. Unlike coffee, which delivers a quick jolt of caffeine, matcha provides a sustained energy release due to the presence of L-theanine, an amino acid known for promoting calm alertness.
