Beans vs Leaves: A Comparative Look at Caffeine Sources

G’day, caffeine connoisseurs and casual sippers alike! In the endless search for the ideal way to kickstart your day, the age-old question looms: Are coffee beans the champions of the caffeine domain, or do tea leaves hold a secret edge? Today, we're diving into the buzzing world of caffeine, comparing our loyal friend the coffee bean with the leafy legends. Spoiler alert: there’s a tasty newcomer in town made from neither — it’s roo.bru, a brew that might just rock your world. But more on that in a tick.

The Coffee Bean: A Classic Contender

When we think caffeine, coffee reigns supreme. With a rich aroma that can wake you up before your first cup, coffee is the morning hug in a mug that many swear by. Boasting around 95 mg of caffeine per cup, it’s no wonder the humble bean has been a staple in many cultures worldwide.

With coffee, you’re also getting more than just caffeine. It's brimming with antioxidants and nutrients that can boost your mental alertness. But, not everything is sunshine and espressos. Overindulgence might lead to that jittery feeling we all dread.

Tea Leaves: The Gentle Giants

On the flip side, tea offers a calmer caffeine experience. Although typically containing less caffeine than coffee (20-60 mg depending on the type), the combination of caffeine with the amino acid L-theanine provides a more steady, calm alertness. No wonder it's perfect for a mindfulness chat with your mate or tackling that new book.

Green and black teas are particularly healthy options, loaded with antioxidants that support overall health. However, if you're not quite keen on the grassy undertones of green tea or the tannins in black tea, we might have just the alternative for you.

Enter roo.bru: The Brew that Balances
