Bai Antioxidant Infusion vs matcha: which has more caffeine?

matcha has more caffeine than Bai Antioxidant Infusion on both counts: 60mg per 8 oz cup (1 tsp, ~2g) against 55mg per 18 oz bottle, and about 8mg per fluid ounce against 3. The serving sizes differ, so the table below shows both ways of counting.

These are different categories of drink, which changes how the caffeine arrives. Energy drinks and sodas list an exact number because caffeine is a measured additive; brewed drinks vary with the beans and the brew, so their figures are compiled averages. The numbers here are the standard published values for each.

Which one should you pick?

Pick Bai Antioxidant Infusion when you want the lighter dose or a slower ramp, and matcha when you actually need the bigger hit and know your tolerance. If you are stacking either with other caffeinated drinks through the day, run the math against the 400mg reference rather than guessing.

For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. Tolerance and health vary, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.
