Three things: ceremonial-grade matcha powder, a bamboo whisk (chasen) and a wide bowl. A starter kit bundles all three cheaper than buying separately.

A typical serving has roughly 60–70mg — less than coffee, but with L-theanine, which most people experience as calm, sustained alertness rather than jitters.

Neither is objectively better; they're different experiences. Matcha offers gentler stimulation plus antioxidants and a ritual element. Many people enjoy both at different times of day.
