How much caffeine is in Yorkshire Breakfast Blend?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 48 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for Yorkshire Breakfast Blend?

Target 96°C (205°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Yorkshire Breakfast Blend be extracted?

Extract for 4:00 using Small Teapot, at a ratio of 12g leaves per Liter, prepared at Broken Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Yorkshire Breakfast Blend taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Yorkshire Breakfast Blend?

Caffeine-sensitive readers should account for leaf quantity, steep time, and total daily intake. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. Do not use a beverage as a replacement for prescribed care; preparation strength can change exposure. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

Where it sits

Stronger than 164 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 169.

That is 48 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 20 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.
