brewed oolong tea vs Peace Tea: the numbers

Sources: brewed oolong tea's figure is verified in our brewed oolong tea caffeine guide against USDA FoodData Central (source); Peace Tea's figure is verified in our Peace Tea guide against Caffeine Informer (source).

Which one should you pick?

Pick Peace Tea when you want the lighter dose or a slower ramp, and brewed oolong tea 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.
