Matcha vs Coffee: Caffeine, Taste and Cost per Cup Compared
Which tea has the most caffeine in this collection?

These products contain caffeine; amounts vary with the product, serving size and preparation. Check the information for the tea you choose.

What does yerba maté taste like?

Yerba-Maté opens with fresh, vegetal notes that gradually mellow into a gently woody, almost coffee-like finish. It has depth and subtle bitterness balanced by natural smoothness.

How do I brew Organic Gyokuro?

Follow the current Organic Gyokuro product page or pack for leaf quantity, water temperature and steeping time. Keep the leaves for another infusion if the product directions recommend it.

Can I drink these teas in the afternoon?

Yes, though timing depends on your caffeine sensitivity. If you find caffeine affects your sleep, consider enjoying these teas earlier in the day.

What does Roasted Yerba-Maté taste like?

Roasted Yerba-Maté is toasty, slightly creamy and reminiscent of Japanese Hōjicha. It offers a rich, full-bodied cup that is quite different to conventional teas.

THE BRIGHT-START SHORTLIST

Choose your kind of morning.

Whisked, steeped or satisfyingly bold: these are distinct rituals, not interchangeable caffeine. Start with the making method and flavour you enjoy.

FIND YOUR RHYTHM

How do you want to begin?

Matcha rewards a little ceremony. Fine green tea rewards careful water. Maté gives you a fuller, more robust cup.

GOOD MORNING QUESTIONS

The useful details.

Which tea has the most caffeine?

Caffeine varies with the tea, serving size and preparation, so a simple ranking can mislead. Check each product page and adjust how much leaf you use and how long you brew.

Is matcha brewed like ordinary green tea?

No. Matcha is whisked into water, so you drink the suspended tea rather than removing infused leaves. Follow the preparation notes on the product page.

Why does water temperature matter?

Very hot water can make fine green tea taste harsher. The recommended temperature helps protect its sweetness, aroma and balance.

Is this collection suitable for late evening?

These teas contain naturally occurring caffeine and are designed as brighter daytime choices. If caffeine affects your sleep, explore the evening collection instead.
