Hi everyone! I’m Milla. I’ve been addicted to caffeine since childhood, but my friends and family never knew about it. The fact is that I drink coffee very rarely, but I love tea. Many of us associate caffeine only with coffee, but in reality, it can be found in other plants, including tea.

Of course, caffeine content in coffee is higher — up to 100 milligrams in a single shot of espresso. While a small cup of tea contains 22 to 74 milligrams of caffeine. But tea also contains other stimulants: theobromine, theophylline and xanthine. Thanks to them, I feel so much more energized after a cup of tea than after a cup of coffee in the morning.

I drink 4 to 5 cups of green tea daily. And once a week, I can eat some chocolate and drink some cola. My blood pressure and sleep are normal. In the morning, I can think only of a strong cup of tea, and if I run out of it, I start to panic.

I’ve never given up on tea for more than 2 days — this period of time was recommended by my dentist after performing professional cleaning of my teeth. But I was curious about how I would feel if I stopped drinking tea for a week and whether I would notice any changes in my skin and well-being.
