Caffeine in Tea & Why Tea is the Original “Bulletproof” Beverage

Camellia sinensis, also known as tea, contains about a quarter to one-half of the caffeine in coffee, depending on the variety.

These properties make tea an ideal beverage for prolonged focus and well-being.

The Health Benefits of Tea

When we drink tea, we feel good! It’s an intuitively and scientifically-proven healthful beverage. Tea, which specifically refers to the drink made from the Camellia Sinensis plant, is the most widely-consumed beverage after water. When humans first began drinking tea, it was regarded as medicinal brew, and was often boiled with other healing herbs. In our modern age, science has confirmed the health benefits of tea for the mind and body. The particular benefits of each kind of tea vary due to the differences in geographical terrain, processing methods, and seed varietals, which result in the five main categories of tea: White, Green, Oolong, Black and Pu’er.
