1. Coffee

Primarily and most notably, caffeine is naturally contained in coffee. Everyone knows that, right? A cup of coffee, measuring 240 ml, contains about 100 mg of caffeine, so the recommended daily consumption is 4 cups. However, it's worth noting that not all coffee sold contains the same amount of caffeine. If possible, try asking the barista who makes it.

2. Cocoa Beans and Chocolate

In addition to coffee, cocoa beans also naturally contain caffeine. This indicates that all products made from cocoa beans, such as drinks, chocolate, or ice cream, will contain caffeine. The amount depends on the percentage of cocoa used. The more cocoa, the more caffeine.

Dark chocolate contains more caffeine because its cocoa bean content is higher, ranging from 45 to 85%, while milk chocolate contains less caffeine because it generally only contains 10 to 30% cocoa. In contrast, white chocolate does not contain caffeine because it is not made with cocoa. Approximately in a weight of 100 grams, here are the amounts:

• Pure chocolate (100% cocoa) contains 240 mg of caffeine
• Dark chocolate (55% cocoa) contains 124 mg of caffeine
• Milk chocolate (33% cocoa) contains 45 mg of caffeine

The more cocoa content in a product, the higher the caffeine content.

3. Green Tea, Matcha, and Kombucha

Green tea, also known as green tea, is a popular beverage that contains caffeine. One cup measuring 240 ml of green tea contains about 30-50 mg of caffeine, which is half as much as coffee in the same size. The caffeine content varies depending on the age of the leaves (more caffeine in younger leaves than older ones).

Matcha is another natural source that contains caffeine. Remember, matcha and green tea are different products. The caffeine content per gram of matcha is about 19 to 44 mg or 88 mg per teaspoon. Compared to green tea, it can be seen that matcha contains more caffeine than green tea.

Kombucha is a product of the fermentation of black tea, green tea, and sometimes oolong tea (which naturally contains caffeine). The amount of caffeine depends on the method of manufacture and the brand. Some contain 15 mg per serving. However, this content tends to decrease during the fermentation process.

Products made from tea, such as green tea, matcha, and kombucha, contain caffeine.

4. Energy Drinks

Energy drinks are carbonated beverages that taste sweet and are usually intended to increase energy, mood, and alertness. One function of energy drinks is as a food supplement. The caffeine content varies, ranging from 50 to 500 mg. However, it is quite difficult to determine how much is in each product.

5. Coffee or Chocolate Flavored Foods and Drinks

Certainly, Ladies often encounter food or drink products that contain coffee. For example, drinks, cakes, ice cream, or pastries with tiramisu or chocolate flavors. Similar to products made from cocoa beans, the amount of caffeine in each product will depend on how much coffee or cocoa beans are used.

So now, Ladies know that coffee does contain caffeine, but there are also other products that contain caffeine as well. Starting from cocoa beans, chocolate, green tea, matcha, kombucha, energy drinks, to foods or drinks with coffee, chocolate, or matcha flavors. Which one do you like? Does it have the same effect as drinking coffee?
