Caffeine is a natural substance found in numerous plants, including the tea plant, Camellia Sinensis. Caffeine is an invigorating and energizing substance, which affects the central nervous system. A healthy individual can consume anywhere between 300-350 mg of caffeine daily without any concern. The amount of caffeine in black tea makes it possible to drink about 6 cups of tea per day.

Green tea naturally has approximately 15 to 50 mg of caffeine per cup. Coffee has 80-200 mg/cup. Black Tea has 40-90 mg/cup.

In a 10 oz. cup, White tea contains 65 mg., Green tea contains 75 mg., Oolong Tea contain 85 mg., and Black tea contains 100 mg. A 10 oz. cup of coffee contains 250 mg. of caffeine. All tea contains caffeine unless it has been decaffeinated.

Green tea, as well as Oolong tea & Black tea, are produced from the herb Camellia Sinensis. They all contain the same amount of caffeine. Caffeine content in a cup of tea is 2.5% to 4%, which is about a third of that in coffee. It is claimed that 80% of the caffeine in tea remains unabsorbed by the human body. From the above you would realise that Green tea, Oolong tea & Black tea may taste different but the caffeine content is the same.

No more than 0.4% caffeine remains in Triple Leaf Decaf Green Tea. That means one tea bag (2000 mg) of 100% decaffeinated green tea contains 8 mg or less of caffeine.

The caffeine content in tea averages about 1/3 the amount found in equal liquid quantities of coffee, about 28-44 mg of caffeine per cup. It is only a myth that green and white teas have less caffeine. The leaves contain the same amount of caffeine but you tend to brew green teas for a shorter period of time and this will lessen the amount of caffeine that ends up in the brew.

All real tea contains caffeine unless the tea has been artificially decaffeinated. (The only exception to this rule is Japanese kokicha, made from stems of the tea plant. Its caffeine content is negligible.) Tea also contains a related chemical called theobromine, which has similar (slightly milder) effects on the body. The amount of caffeine in a cup of tea varies tremendously, depending on the variety of tea and the brewing time.

Caffeine content of a cup of tea varies based upon total time steeped, the quality of the tea and even from crop year to crop year. Generally speaking, the following numbers represent averages to demonstrate the relationship between various teas and coffee per 8 oz. serving. Long Life uses a natural water process to decaffeinate our tea. Absolutely no chemicals, including CO2, are used on our tea.

Yes. Even decaffeinated tea has a very small amount of caffeine. Green tea has less caffeine than black or oolong tea. The amount of caffeine depends on how tea is brewed, how long it's brewed, what part of the tea plant the leaf/bud comes from and the size of the leaf when brewed. Tea bags usually have smaller leaves or pieces of leaves and result in more caffeine when brewed.

The green tea extract contains very little caffeine. In the final formula, the amount of caffeine is less than 2 mg per serving, or less than two-tenths of one percent. (As a comparison, an 8-oz cup of coffee contains 60 to 150 mg.)

The Government of Canada has 3 approved methods of decaffeination, C02, ethyl acetate, and methylene chloride. In order to provide the best tasting cup of tea, Tetley decaffeinates green tea with C02, and black tea (orange pekoe) with methylene chloride.

Both green and black tea come from the Camellia sinensis plant. The difference is in the amount of time that the picked leaves are allowed to oxidize. Green teas are minimally oxidized, whereas Black teas are fully oxidized.

Black tea is fermented, green tea is not. The leaf appearance, one is black, the other green. Black tea in the cup is a deep red, green tea is very light green or yellow. They taste totally different. Polyphenols are part of the Flavonoid component of tea. The polyphenols are made up of the tea catechins and their gallates. They used to be referred to as the tea tannins. They are the antioxidants in tea.

It was thought until comparatively recently that green tea was the most effective antioxidant-containing tea and that green-tea catechins (the unoxidized polyphenols present in tea leaf) alone were the antioxidants giving tea its health-giving attributes. It is now well known that the theaflavins and thearubugins produced by the condensation of oxidized catechins, during the fermentation stage of black tea manufacture, are equally effective antioxidants (Leung et al 2001).

Oolongs (which cover a wide range of processes) usually have some physical manipulation done to them, breaking down the cellulose within the tea leaf to bring out the flavors. Oxidation is between 10% to 75%. Black teas are fully oxidized. The tea leaf is cut and bruised, bringing out the various flavors nascent in the leaf.

Green and black tea originate from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. Green tea leaves are much less processed because they are not fermented like black tea. Green teas have a more delicate, fresh taste, whereas black teas are often more full-bodied and robust.

All traditional teas - green and black - come from the Camellia sinensis plant, while Rooibos comes from a bush only found in South Africa called Aspalathus linearis. The difference between green and black teas is the result of processing. Green Teas go through three main steps: withering, steaming, and drying. During the withering process, freshly plucked leaves are laid out on long tables to allow water to evaporate from the leaves.

CUUR? contains 570 mg of EGCG ? a key component found in green tea (per 3 capsules). This amount of EGCG is equivalent to 14 (5 oz) cups of brewed green tea.

CUUR® contains 570 mg of EGCG ? a key component found in green tea (per 3 capsules). This amount of EGCG is equivalent to 14 (5 oz) cups of brewed green tea.

Two primary products are produced from the Camellia Sinensis plant: Green tea - young tea leaves which undergo a process of drying and rolling. Black tea - young tea leaves which undergo an additional process of brief fermentation at high humidity and drying in order to develop the characteristic taste of black tea. Thus, the source of both black tea and green tea is from the same plant, and they are different from one another only in their production processes.

Herbal "teas" contain no true tea leaves, but are made by combining herbs, dried fruits and spices such as camomile, mint, hibiscus, cinnamon, etc. to create appealing aromas and flavors. These herbal beverages are usually steeped for 5-7 minutes or longer according to taste.

Both varieties of tea are made from the leaves of the same plant. After the harvest, leaves for black tea undergo a fermenting process catalyzed by their enzymes. This turns them to a red brown color first, then black after they are dried. This process allows the human body to absorb the caffeine in black tea more quickly, thus making it more stimulating than green tea. However, fermentation sacrifices some of the ingredients that are retained in green tea. Green tea is superior to black tea.
