CONTRAST

Composition in numbers

Brewed coffee VS Brewed black tea

Per 100 g of drink. Both brewed with tap water, so the water itself is out of the comparison.

  • Scientific sources and official data
  • One measurement protocol
  • No verdicts, no conclusions

How to read the data

Values are per single product unit and measured under one protocol — Health Canada Intense (HCI). The 300 °C and 800 °C figures describe the process itself, heating and burning, not separate measurement points.

The same substances — in the game

The game module builds molecules from this same table and shows what happens to the composition under heating and burning.
