Did you know that March is Caffeine Awareness Month?
Caffeine can impact health in many ways, including increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.
You may be familiar with the usual suspects: coffee and chocolate. But did you know that tea does too? It does, and that includes Green Tea, which comes from the same plant. In fact the leaves of tea (Camellia sinensis) contain about 93,000 parts per million (ppm), while coffee beans contain about 32,000 ppm.
But maybe you don’t drink regular tea. Perhaps you drink herbal tea. Well, some “herbal” teas, if you read the label, are in fact flavoured regular tea. Herbs and “flavour” have been blended with regular tea (i.e. black tea) to create your “herbal” tea. I’ve experienced this particularly in restaurants. Next time you order or buy “herbal” tea bags, read the tea bag ingredients label… they might surprise you.
A couple other herbs that contain caffeine are Yerba Matte (Ilex paraguensis), which has about 20,000 ppm, and Guarana (Paullinia cupana) with about 76,000 ppm.
It pays to read ingredient labels.
