Caffeine synthase is a methyltransferase enzyme involved in the caffeine biosynthesis pathway. It is expressed in tea species, coffee species, and cocoa species. The enzyme catalyses the following reactions: [1]

Caffeine synthase is expressed in the Camellia species irrawadiensis , ptilophylla , and sinensis ; [2] the Coffea species arabica , [3] [4] and canephora ; [5] and in Theobroma cacao . [6]
