Recently, some netizens posted that drinking milk tea causes insomnia, which has aroused the attention and discussion of many netizens. In fact, the caffeine content in milk tea may be higher than that in coffee. According to the results of a random inspection, the caffeine content in milk tea averages 270mg, and the maximum can reach 480mg, which is equivalent to 4 cups of coffee or 8 cans of Red Bull.
While a cup of Americano contains only 108mg of caffeine, a can of Red Bull drink contains only 50mg of caffeine. The reason why milk tea contains caffeine is because milk tea is made from "milk + tea", and the caffeine in tea leaves is easily dissolved from the tea leaves into the water when making tea.
Many commercially available milk teas are made using concentrated tea powder, so the caffeine content is usually higher. Everyone has a different sensitivity to caffeine, and some people may be more sensitive to caffeine, and after drinking it, they will experience symptoms such as insomnia, tremors in the hands and feet, and palpitation. Especially teenagers, pregnant and breastfeeding women, it's best to avoid too much caffeine as much as possible.
Overall, moderate caffeine intake is safe for most people. But if you are sensitive to caffeine or have special conditions, it is best not to drink milk tea at first.
