Vanilla Matcha Chai Latte Dairy Free

---

This is my new love. I tried a matcha latte at teaopia tea shop and fell in love with the detox & energy of this japanese tea. I love that the caffeine in matcha releases slowly into the blood not like caffeine in coffee so you don't get jittery unless you drink a ton without eating anything else, then maybe.
