Question is, which drink has higher caffeine content? Knowing how much tea caffeine vs coffee can help you decide what to drink at any time of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a common belief among coffee and tea drinkers that coffee has higher caffeine levels than caffeinated teas. Is this true? If you feel more perked up drinking coffee than tea, does this mean coffee has more caffeine than tea? Today we take a closer look at the caffeine levels of these two beverages and their health effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Caffeine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pure caffeine is a white, odorlous, chemical compound naturally found in seeds, leaves, and fruits, typically in coffee beans, cocoa, yerba mate, and leaves of the tea plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it has a bitter taste that\u2019s supposed to deter insects and animals from eating these plants, most of us enjoy drinking tea and coffee to keep us awake. Caffeine works as a drug or stimulant to the central nervous system and makes one feel more alert and energized<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/100mostimportant0000myer\/page\/54\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/100mostimportant0000myer\/page\/54\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/100mostimportant0000myer\/page\/54\/mode\/2up<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine is commonly known to cause changes in one\u2019s perception, judgment, mood, consciousness,&nbsp;cognition, or behavior. However, not everyone feels the same way when consuming tea and coffee. As such, caffeine has varying effects on different individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Caffeine is in a Cup of Tea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, when steeped for 3 minutes, an average cup of tea (177 milliliters or 6.0 US fl oz) contains about 22 to 74 milligrams of caffeine<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caffeine#Chemistry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caffeine#Chemistry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caffeine#Chemistry<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_2').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_2', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script>. In other words, it\u2019s best to drink up to only five cups of tea per day to stick to moderate consumption levels of caffeine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, this is just an average estimation. The actual caffeine levels of your tea will depend on several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type of tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All tea is produced from the <em>Camellia Sinensis<\/em> plant, and there are more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stashtea.com\/blogs\/education\/tea-types#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3000 types<\/a> of teas. Not all teas have the same caffeine level. Different teas go through different production processes, leading to their varying caffeine levels. True teas have different caffeine levels than herbal teas which come from different plant species. Yerba mate or mat\u00e9 and roasted mat\u00e9 teas contain the least caffeine content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/pouringflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tea-caffeine-vs-coffee-01.jpg\" alt=\"brewed tea with tea leaves in filter to show tea caffeine vs coffee \" class=\"wp-image-1719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pouringflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tea-caffeine-vs-coffee-01.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/pouringflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tea-caffeine-vs-coffee-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pouringflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tea-caffeine-vs-coffee-01-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caffeine Levels in Different Types of Brewed Tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a study by the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, a standardized brewing process was carried out on different types of tea of varying commercial tea brands, namely: Bigelow, Lipton, Stash, Tazo, Twinings, and Two Leaves and a Bud<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_3');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_3');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_3\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[3]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_3\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jat\/article\/32\/8\/702\/829967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jat\/article\/32\/8\/702\/829967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jat\/article\/32\/8\/702\/829967<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_3').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_3', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the findings when all teas were steeped for 5 minutes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Average Cup of Black Tea (Lipton Regular)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>47 milligrams of caffeine per 6 oz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Average Cup of White Tea (Exotica China White)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>47 milligrams of caffeine per 6 oz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Average Cup of Green <a href=\"https:\/\/pouringflowers.com\/best-loose-leaf-green-tea\/\">Tea Leaves<\/a> (Tazo China Green Tips)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>41 milligrams of caffeine per 6 oz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Average Cup of Lipton Decaf<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>3.1 milligrams of caffeine per 6 oz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Average Cup of Bigelow Cranberry Apple Herb Tea<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>0 milligrams of caffeine (no caffeine detected) per 6 oz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Average Cup of Oolong Tea<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been found in a study by Food Research International that an average cup of oolong tea contains 23.8 milligrams of caffeine per gram of tea<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_4');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_1714_1('footnote_plugin_reference_1714_1_4');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_4\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[4]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_4\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/0963996996000385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/0963996996000385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/0963996996000385<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1714_1_4').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1714_1_4', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, with a steeping time of 5 minutes, the caffeine content of tea ranges between 3.1 to 61 mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brewing Time and Serving size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s proven that the preparation method of all teas affects caffeine content.
