Chai is practically a food group in Pakistan. Most households brew it three to four times a day, and many people genuinely do not think of it as a source of caffeine at all. Yet a strong cup of doodh patti can carry 50 to 70 mg of caffeine, and those cups add up faster than most people realise.<\/p>\n
Across Pakistan’s urban centres, a new layer has been added on top of the chai habit: energy drinks and instant coffee sachets, especially among students in Lahore and Karachi who pull late-night study sessions. The combination of traditional chai and these newer products means many Pakistanis are now consuming far more caffeine daily than they intend to.<\/p>\n
Knowing your daily caffeine limit is not about giving up chai. It is about understanding when the amount you are drinking starts working against you, and what the science-backed safe threshold actually looks like for different people.<\/p>\n
