Dunkin' Has So Many Green Tea & Matcha Drinks That Will Keep You Energized

Though you might be used to grabbing coffee when you're tired, there are certainly times when you're looking for a different kind of sip to give you a boost of energy. Green teas and matcha drinks at Dunkin' are great options if you're looking for a pick-me-up but don't want something too strong. Depending on your preferences, there are a few sips you can choose from with varying caffeine contents. Here's a look at the caffeine in Dunkin's green tea and matcha for your next visit.

Finding your new go-to sip can be difficult, so you'll want to first know about all the offerings available. Dunkin's line of matcha drinks, which were released in February 2020, come hot, iced, or frozen. There's also the new Blueberry Matcha Latte, which dropped in February 2021, if you're looking for a fruity spin on the OG sip. The chain's matcha offerings all feature the same amount of caffeine: 120 milligrams for a medium-size drink. To give you a comparison, a medium hot coffee at Dunkin' has 210 milligrams of caffeine.

According to Dunkin', matcha is made by stone grinding young tea leaf buds into a concentrated powder, while the process for making a cup of traditional green tea involves steeping or brewing tea leaves. Since you're actually drinking grounded down tea leaves rather than just steeping or brewing them, matcha contains more caffeine.

When it comes to traditional green teas, Dunkin' has two options — the Harmony Leaf Green Tea and Iced Green Tea — which naturally, feature significantly less caffeine than Dunkin's matcha drinks. A medium Harmony Leaf Green Tea has around 70 milligrams of caffeine, while a medium Iced Green Tea has around 64 to 68 milligrams of caffeine, depending on whether you get it sweetened. Dunkin' Refreshers, which feature the brand's brewed green tea mixed with other flavors, come in at around 99 milligrams of caffeine for a medium-size drink. A Coconut Refresher, however, gets its caffeine from green tea extract and has 68 milligrams in a medium. These eight Dunkin' matcha and green tea options also come with different add-ons like milk and liquid cane sugar.

1. Matcha Latte
