Guarana is one of the richest sources of caffeine, containing up to three times the amount of caffeine as coffee beans.  However, unlike coffee, the amount of caffeine doesn't have to be listed on Guarana drinks.

Guarana soft drinks are very popular in Brazil. The best brands deliver a fruity taste, aren't overloaded with sugar, and have a pleasant aftertaste.  Brazil produces several brands of soft drink from Guarana extract. Sweet, carbonated Guarana drinks include the popular brands Guaraná Antarctica, Guaraná Brahma, and Kuat..

Guarana has recently become a popular ingredient in energy drinks like Guru which originated in Canada. Guru contains about four times more caffeine than coke, but because the label reads "guarana" instead of caffeine, it is not regulated. So buyer beware! You may be getting a lot more caffeine than you think!
