Can kids drink organic matcha tea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Advised: Organic matcha green tea has caffeine. It is not advisable in children. This is because tea contains caffeine that may over-stimulate. It also contains tannins that may block nutrients absorption such as protein and fats in children.
