Hi Reader,

Have you ever wanted a gentle kind of energy…
something that carries you through the day without the spike in energy or the afternoon crash?

Maybe you’ve noticed:
– coffee feels a bit too much lately
– or even tea sometimes keeps you awake longer than you’d like

You’re not alone in that.

With it being Caffeine Awareness Month in March, I’ve been paying more attention to how different teas actually affect our daily rhythm.

And honestly—navigating the tea world isn’t always simple.
Not all teas are as “light” as they seem.

So this weekend, I put together a few visual examples to make it clearer.

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

• Herbal tea → naturally caffeine-free
• Coffee → about 95–200 mg per cup
• Low-caffeine tea → under 40 mg per cup

If you're looking for the gentlest options, white tea and green tea are usually your best companions.

But then there’s matcha…

It is green tea—but works differently.

Instead of steeping and removing the leaves, you’re drinking the whole leaf as a powder.
Which means your cozy matcha latte can sometimes give you a similar boost to coffee.

Not a bad thing—just maybe not the best evening choice 😅

If you’re curious, I’ve put together a simple guide with exact caffeine amounts and the best time of day for each tea:

Now I’m curious—what’s usually in your cup?

Every day makes a difference ♡
