brewed guayusa has more caffeine than Arizona Green Tea: 41mg vs 7.5mg in the same 8 oz cup. That is a 33.5mg gap, and since the cans match, the per-serving number is the whole story.
brewed guayusa vs Arizona Green Tea: the numbers
| brewed guayusa | Arizona Green Tea | |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine per serving | 41mg per 8 oz cup | 7.5mg per 8 oz serving (23 oz can holds ~21.5mg) |

The concentration gap is the striking part: brewed guayusa packs roughly 5 times the caffeine per ounce. Sipping speed matters at that density; a 8 oz cup finished in minutes hits differently than the same milligrams spread over a slow cup.
Which one should you pick?
Pick Arizona Green Tea when you want the lighter dose or a slower ramp, and brewed guayusa 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.
