Tim Hortons Coffee: Caffeine Content

“Additionally, the caffeine content for tea depends on how long it is steeped.”
I’ve heard that the caffeine comes from the leaves rather quickly; do you have a source on this statement?
Thanks.

Most people can’t understand why at some point through their Saturday morning their minds start wandering towards going to Tim Hortons even though they have had a couple of regular brewed cups of coffee at home. I know it tastes better but even my boyfriend can’t get rid of his caffeine deprived headache without his daily Tim’s. Personally I think there should be a warning that there is so much caffeine in their coffee. I know people who will drink 4 or 5 large Tim’s in a work day, imagine getting up on a Saturday morning and having that kind of caffeine withdrawl. Now I know what was wrong with me back then. I stay home with the kids now, but I still start the day with a cold coffee energy drink and a whole pot of brewed coffee.

The French Vanilla one doesn’t seem accurate. I have a couple Tim’s close to me and each one makes the drink different! If I want a sweeter one I go to one, if I want one with more coffee taste I go to another, and if I want one that tastes extremely bitter I go to the other. I think to put a caffeinated generalized amount and then go on and make it differ between stores that are five kilometers apart is absurd. I have also asked different Tim Horton’s employees from different stores and each will tell me a different answer for when I ask if there is actually caffeine in the french vanilla beverage.

(side note: sometimes the drinks are ridiculously overpowered with sugar. I can only imagine what that is doing to our health)

I am not convinced that the pepermint tea is 0mg of cafine as I have trouble sleeping after just one. I would be interested in an independant test result. Anyone know where to find such independant data?

if it was caffeine free it wouldn’t taste like coffee. if you don’t want any caffeine at all and don’t want to drink herbal tea than try chicory. It is the closest you can find and chicory coffee is popular in Louisiana Mugica is a nice Korean drink made from roasted grain(historically they didn’t have coffee)

genmaicha is green tea and brown rice which I enjoy some times.

there are all esatz if you are a coffee drinker.

nothing is as good as Tim Horton’s

thank you for this chart and info. i found it quite helpful.

one other thing to consider: my local Tims always asks if I would like my iced capp made with regular or chocolate milk. i believe this would up the caffeine content in a small by about 5-7mg.
