MOTEAS Tea House - FAQ
Caffeine is a natural product of the Camellia Sinensis plant and of the tea leaf. It is also found naturally in coffee and in cocoa. As the tea leaf is transformed from white to black tea, the amount of caffeine released into the cup increases. The variety of the tea, the brewing time and the temperature of the water greatly affects the amount of caffeine released. On average you can assume one cup of tea has one third to one half the amount of caffeine as does coffee.
