Hand over cash to the rider
Sweet chai at ten, slump by noon? Matcha Slim swaps it for a green mug: matcha and spirulina powder, a level teaspoon in hot water, drunk before midday for more even energy. Ask for the call; hand the cash to the rider.
Matcha brings natural caffeine with catechins, so the lift is slower than from strong coffee.
A mug of this green drink fits into a balanced day of regular meals and water.
The 100 g pouch has a scoop-and-stir routine that takes under a minute.
A short green-drink recipe: matcha leaf powder, spirulina, a little fruit acid and a carrier.
powdered green tea leaf carrying catechins and natural caffeine
dried blue-green alga that colours the drink deep green and adds plant protein
mild fruit acid for a brighter, slightly sharp taste
carrier that helps the powder dissolve without lumps

5/5
I answer phones at a clinic reception in Mombasa. Around half past ten I always grabbed sweet tea and biscuits, then felt heavy all afternoon.
My colleague Halima showed me Matcha Slim. I stir a teaspoon into hot water before the shift and have cut the biscuits. My afternoons feel more even now.

One level teaspoon in a mug, topped with 150 ml of hot water and stirred until no lumps remain. Drink it in the morning.
It tastes grassy and a little tangy from the citric acid, close to green tea. Some people like it with a bit of cooled water.
A few people get stomach upset or jitters, especially on an empty stomach. Have it after a light bite and keep it before midday.
Matcha carries natural caffeine, so if tea or coffee keeps you awake, this one may too. Start with a smaller scoop in the morning.
Only a name and a number go in. M-Pesa, card and bank details are never requested.
The supplier's agent calls to settle your town, the drop-off point, the quantity and a convenient day.
Payment is made in shillings to the rider when you collect the parcel, not before.
