Where it sits

Stronger than 206 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 136.

That is 58 mg in a 6–8 oz cup (180–240 ml) serving — a concentration of 27.6 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
