Coffee vs. Tea: A Ghost Roast Guide

Coffee or tea? It's one of the great debates of our time. At Ghost Roast, we think it's a false choice — because we love both. But if you're trying to figure out which one is right for you (or when), we've got you covered.

The Caffeine Question

Let's get the big one out of the way. Coffee generally has more caffeine than tea — a standard 8oz cup of coffee has around 80–100mg of caffeine, while black tea clocks in at 40–70mg. Herbal teas like our Hibiscus Berry Tea, Mango Treat, and Apple Cider Rooibos are completely caffeine-free, making them perfect for evenings or anyone sensitive to caffeine.

And if you really want to go all in on caffeine? Our Max Caf Blend — made from Tanzania and India Robusta beans — is in a league of its own. You've been warned. ⚡

Flavor Profiles

Coffee tends to be bold, rich, and complex. Our Papua New Guinea brings earthy depth and a hint of fruit. Our Honduras is all caramel, spice, and brown sugar. Our Mexico Coffee Pods are smooth, bright, and subtly sweet.

Tea, on the other hand, spans an enormous range. Our English Breakfast is bold and robust — built to stand up to milk and sugar. Our Peach Paradise is fruity and floral. Our Mango Treat is pure tropical sunshine. There's truly something for every mood.

When to Drink What

• Morning kick: Coffee — especially our Max Caf Blend or Instant Coffee for speed
• Mid-morning focus: Honduras or Mexico Coffee Pods — smooth and sustained
• Afternoon wind-down: English Breakfast with milk, or Apple Cider Rooibos
• Evening treat: Hibiscus Berry Tea, Mango Treat, or Peach Paradise — all caffeine-free

The Verdict

You don't have to pick a side. The best cup is the one that fits your moment. At Ghost Roast, we've made sure you're covered for every single one of them — morning to midnight, bold to blissful.
