Caffeine, or trimethylxanthine, is the most popular drug in many countries, including America, Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, and Finland. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. It
is found naturally in at least sixty plants, including tea, apples, kola nuts, coffee, chocolate, and guarana. Caffeine is isolated from tea or coffee by soaking the leaves or beans in water, then absorbing the caffeine in the water through charcoal. It caan also be dissolved in carbon dioxide at temperatures above 31 degrees Celsius, then recovered.
