💪🌟 Smoother Energy, Less Jitters: How Tea Works🌷🫖
Posted by Dani Noto on
Ever wondered why tea gives you a gentle boost while coffee often gives you the jitters?
Let’s spill the tea (leaves) on how caffeine works in your favorite blends and how it stacks up against coffee, if you’re a coffee drinker!
Why Tea Energizes Differently Than Coffee
Yes, tea has caffeine!
All true teas—like black, green, oolong, white, and puerh—come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis.
The differences come from how the leaves are processed. This, along with your brewing method, changes the caffeine level.
Here’s how different teas compare.
Tea Types and Their Average Caffeine Content (per 8 oz)
Black Tea 40–70 mg: Bold and brisk, your go-to tea for morning motivation.
Oolong Tea 30–50 mg: Balanced and smooth, perfect for steady focus.
Green Tea 20–45 mg: Gentle lift, like zen energy in a cup.
White Tea 10–25 mg: Soft and subtle, offering calm alertness.
Puerh Tea 30–70 mg: Earthy and grounding, giving you a slow-burn boost.
Herbal Tea 0 mg: Naturally caffeine-free, perfect for winding down.
Rooibos 0 mg: Naturally caffeine-free, perfect for winding down.
Honeybush 0 mg: Naturally caffeine-free, perfect for winding down.
Tea vs. Coffee: Same Buzz, Different Feel
A cup of coffee usually has 95 to 120 mg of caffeine, which is about 2 to 3 times more than most teas.
Still, the energy from tea feels noticeably different.
Tea has L-theanine, an amino acid that helps you stay calmly focused. Since tea releases caffeine more slowly, you get a smoother, longer-lasting energy I like to call "tea calm."
While coffee might have you racing through your day, tea helps you keep a gentle, steady energy.
In short…the caffeine in tea brings you clarity, not chaos, and in my world, that’s priceless.
With this unique blend of energy and ease, tea delivers just what your day needs.
