Summer’s here, and so is that sluggish, overheated, “do I really need to leave the house?” kind of energy. If your go-to iced coffee is leaving you more jittery than joyful, or you’re just looking for a way to feel good in the heat without crashing… we’ve got you.

Spoiler alert: there’s a better way to stay cool, focused, and hydrated—and it starts with matcha.

🌿 Why Iced Coffee Might Not Be Helping

Let’s be real—iced coffee feels like a solution, but it’s kind of a trap in the summer:

• It can dehydrate you (caffeine + zero electrolytes = 🙃)

• It often leads to a spike and crash

• It doesn’t last long, especially when it’s hot out

• For some of us, it wreaks havoc on our stomachs too…

🧊 Matcha: The Chill Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed

Matcha isn’t just another caffeine source—it’s a whole experience.
Here’s why it’s actually ideal for hot, busy, or low-energy summer days:

💧 1. It Hydrates (Yes, Really)

Matcha is made with water (or plant milk), but it also contains antioxidants and L-theanine, which help your body absorb that hydration more effectively. You can even boost your latte with coconut water, sea salt, or chia seeds for extra staying power.

⚡️ 2. It Gives Long-Lasting Energy Without the Crash

Matcha’s caffeine is paired with L-theanine, an amino acid that delivers calm focus without the spikes and slumps.

• You stay clear-headed, not wired.

• Productive, not panicked.

Perfect for long pool days, work-from-patio afternoons, or that post-brunch slump.

🧠 3. It Boosts Mood + Focus (Even When It's Melty Outside)

Too much heat can mess with our brains. Matcha supports mental clarity, memory, and mood so you can feel like yourself—even when it’s 92 degrees and your inbox is on fire.

🍓 4. You Can Make It Iced, Frothy, Sparkling—or Totally New

Matcha isn’t just lattes. Try:

• Watermelon Matcha Agua Fresca (seriously refreshing)

• Iced Matcha with Coconut Milk + Lime

• Matcha Lemonade

• Blended Matcha Smoothies or Popsicles

• Or our wild favorite: Matcha Nice Cream

☀️ Bottom Line?

You don’t have to settle for feeling meh this summer. Matcha keeps you energized, hydrated, and focused—with none of the sweaty side effects of coffee.
