What are the side effects of matcha?

The article discusses the potential side effects of consuming matcha, a popular green tea known for its health benefits. Matcha is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, like traditional green, black, and white teas. It contains antioxidants, caffeine, vitamins, and minerals that offer various health advantages. However, excessive consumption can lead to adverse effects such as insomnia due to caffeine sensitivity, fatigue caused by L-theanine, digestive discomfort from tanins and catechins, and increased risk of esophageal irritation if consumed hot. The article advises moderation, suggesting drinking matcha with food and limiting intake to avoid these issues.
