About this drink

Ingredients: Tea base + espresso shot, milk, cheese foam

When will it clear your system?

150 mg is significant; the dual source (tea + coffee) doesn't reduce total dose, just spreads the absorption.

Based on caffeine's 5-hour half-life, a HEYTEA Macchiato (Tea + Espresso) consumed at 2:00 PM drops below the sleep-safe threshold (~20 mg) by approximately 04:32 the same evening.

Where this fits in a daily limit

That's roughly 75% of the 200 mg pregnancy guideline and 38% of the 400 mg general adult daily limit. One drink uses most of a pregnancy-safe day.
