Another reason to go easy on macha is lead, tea leaves often contain it, but it doesn't dissolve into your tea[1]. Macha-s let you digest a lot more leaf. Another option for people who want serious caffeine is yerba mate, which you can buy by the kilo quite cheaply. I find it too strong, but I gave up coffee years ago, too - green / white / oolong / black tea is plenty for me. 1: http://www.green-tea-guide.com/green-tea-lead.html http://www.green-tea-guide.com/green-tea-lead.html
