Caffeine: Exploring it's many sources

Caffeine: Exploring it's many sources

In the previous blog 'Understanding Caffeine: Why the world cannot get enough' we dove into what is caffeine and why the world cannot get enough of it. However, caffeine is not just limited to coffee and tea. Caffeine is in various drinks, foods, and even supplements. Wether you are a coffee lover, a tea enthusiast or an energy drink fan, there is a source of caffeine to match every lifestyle!

Let's dive into the different sources of caffeine and what each one make unique. 

Coffee: The classic

Coffee is perhaps the most iconic source of caffeine. Made from roasted coffee beans, it comes in many forms: espresso, cappuccino, cold brew and more. Each brewing method is different and it will affect the caffeine content. For example a single shot of espresso contains about 63mg of caffeine and a 250ml cup of brewed coffee contains about 95mg. 

Tea: The softer energy lift

Tea is a gentler source of caffeine, making it a favourite amongst those who prefer a slow, steady lift rather than a quick jolt. In the tea scene, black tea has the highest caffeine content, around 47mg of caffeine per cup. However, herbal teas like chamomile and peppermint, are naturally caffeine-free. 

Energy drinks: The modern powerhouse

Energy drinks like Red Bull, Monster and Bang pack a serious caffeine punch, ranging from 70 to 300mg of caffeine per serving. These energy drinks are often combined with ingredients like taurine, B vitamins and sugar for an extra energy kick. 

Yerba Mate: A cultural treasure

Yerba Mate, a traditional South American drink, offers a unique caffeine experience. Made from the leaves of the llex paraguariensis plant, it delivers around 80mg of caffeine per cup. It is similar to coffee but with a more balanced energy lift. Also, Yerba Mate is also rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, making it a favorite for both its energising and health-promoting properties.
