Matcha, a powder made from ground green tea leaves, boasts a mega-list of antioxidants and delivers an uplifting yet calming alertness, thanks to a natural compound inside the leaves, l-theanine.Morsels steams and slightly sweetens their matcha with creamy almond milk, making for a cozy, delicious, and healthful break. If you become a complete convert, Morsels has you covered: It also sells containers of matcha powder so you can make your own matcha lattes at home. Morsels’ in-store matcha latte: $4.25.
