Matcha every day

Is drinking matcha almond milk latte bad for you if you do it every day? I’ve been reading the EGCG in matcha is bad for the liver. Is it better than drinking coffee every day?

The cases of liver damage associated with EGCG are from concentrated green tea extract and not matcha. Feel free to drink your matcha every day.

@no_name Just pay attention where your getting matcha. Especially of ypur drinking it everyday. NEVER get chinese matcha. It's packed with heavy metals and other toxins. Same with any other tea. Always avoid it if its from China.

@Adodd Is there a difference between culinary and ceremonial matcha? 

[Adodd]

@no_name from what I understand culinary matcha is more bitter but slightly HIGHER in antioxidants while ceremonial grade will have higher caffeine and L-theanine content with a better taste.
