The difference between green tea and coffee caffeine

Food

Green tea has more caffeine than coffee. But when you actually drink it, you don't think it has more arousal than coffee.Is it because the caffeine in green tea and coffee is different?

pu1. I've seen green tea and coffee experiments with arousal, and I've seen coffee actually have an arousal at once and then a drop, while green tea has an arousal effect very slowly

pu2. It's not that green tea and coffee have different caffeine, but it's because catechin in green tea interferes with caffeine absorption

pu3. If you compare the same amount of green tea and coffee, coffee contains twice as much caffeine as green tea. Caffeine is good for hot water, so coffee is produced in 100 degrees water, while green tea uses 70 to 80 degrees water. In fact, the amount of coffee absorbed is much higher because of the catechin component in green tea, as mentioned above. So it is much better to drink green tea more often than coffee for a steady awakening effect
