Where it sits

Stronger than 284 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 52.

That is 92 mg in a 8 oz cup (240 ml) serving — a concentration of 38.3 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.
