While coffee is a primary source of caffeine, tea also delivers a notable amount. Curious about the caffeine content in your favorite brew?
Our recent Instagram poll revealed that 74% of our readers prefer tea over coffee. Tea, especially from true tea leaves, offers proven health benefits—studies consistently show tea drinkers enjoy longer, healthier lives.
That said, tea contains caffeine, though far less than coffee. Excessive intake can disrupt sleep, so it's worth knowing the facts. Here's a breakdown based on standard nutritional data.
A 125ml cup of black or green tea contains 30 milligrams of caffeine.
By comparison, a 125ml cup of filter coffee has 85 milligrams.
30 grams of dark chocolate provides 14 milligrams of caffeine, while the same amount of milk chocolate has just 3 milligrams.
