Tea’s okay, but it doesn’t create that warm, lovey feeling I get from coffee. It just doesn’t satisfy the way coffee does. Probably because tea has lower caffeine content?
afaik, most tea has a higher caffeine content than coffee.
i can’t explain that effect either. I feel like coffee is less “watery” than tea tho - is there any data on the viscosity of coffee? maybe it has something to do with reduced surface tension
Prepared coffee definitely has more caffeine than tea. Here’s one example source showing the difference. It seems that although raw tea leaves contain a higher caffeine content than raw coffee beans, coffee is prepared in a way that extracts more caffeine into the drink.
The numbers on that link show that:
“An average cup (220 ml) of black tea packs 50 mg of caffeine but can contain more” (if steeped for longer)
“An average 8-ounce (237-ml) cup of coffee contains 90 to 200 mg of caffeine.”
There’s a lot more information on that link, but it seems that prepared coffee generally contains somewhere between 2-4x as much caffeine as the same amount of prepared tea.
