How Much Caffeine Is In Each Tea

Now that we've been over the benefits of tea caffeine over coffee caffeine, understand that not all teas are created equal when it comes to amount of caffeine. Depending on your natural tolerance to caffeine, you should pick a level of caffeine that works best for you.

The Tea With The Most Caffeine

While most people believe that black tea has the most caffeine, matcha actually contains the most compared to any other tea, at 70mg. To give you a comparison, 1 cup of coffee comes out at about 95mg per serving. While still less than coffee, matcha definitely packs a punch when it comes to caffeine. So, if you're wanting to transition off coffee, matcha might be a great first step!

But matcha isn't the only tea that can pack a caffeine punch. Puehr (Pu-erh) tea can also have high levels of caffeine. Also known as the "living tea," Puehr is a unique fermented tea that is soothing to the gut. Its rich, earthy flavor profile and gut-health benefits make it a favorite among tea connoisseurs and those looking to expand their tea horizons. Our favorite blends with Puehr are Bulletproof Breakfast and Coffee Quitter.

 

Teas With Low Caffeine

If you're looking for lower caffeine teas, oolong or white tea might be great options for you. These delicate brews, crafted from the same plant as their caffeine-heavy counterparts, are processed differently, resulting in a lower caffeine content.

Beyond boosting energy, Oolong tea is also known for its ability to boost metabolism and aid in weight loss. It also is rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Check out our favorite oolong teas: Bulletproof Breakfast Blend and authentic Ti Quan Yin Oolong Tea.

White tea is the least processed of all teas, making it the most potent in terms of antioxidants. It can provide smooth stable energy, in addition to helping protect the body from chronic diseases. Check out our favorite white tea blends: Sleek and Slender and yummy Tropical Vacation Tea.
