Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.

Calculation assumptions

Estimated with one cup of 2% dairy milk and the listed maple syrup. Matcha caffeine varies by cultivar and serving weight.

Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.

Caffeine note: Matcha caffeine varies by cultivar and product. Use the package value for the listed teaspoon rather than treating one generic estimate as exact.

Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.

Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.
