But any way you steep it, taking a moment for yourself to prepare a cup of tea is certainly part of the ritual’s appeal. They offer these basic guidelines as a place for you to begin your tea enjoyment. The Water A truly satisfying cup of tea begins with the best water – fresh and cold from the purest source available. For oolong and black teas, use water right off a rolling boil. Don’t let the water keep boiling though, or it will lose too much oxygen and result in a flat-tasting tea. White tea and green tea should be brewed with water that is cooler than boiling; just sit back and wait a minute or two after the water has reached a boil. Steeping Rather than steep by color, start by following the time recommended on the package. Then, adjust the length of time according to your personal taste. Once you’ve found the time that works for you, follow it to ensure consistency from cup to cup. Be sure to remove the teabag after the desired time has passed. Don’t just let the tea sit and continue to infuse. Loose Leaf For loose tea, measure out one teaspoon per cup. Be sure to choose an infuser or strainer with holes small enough to contain the leaf particles. They’ve found the disposable t-sac filter papers to be an excellent option (and they can be composted). How Much Caffeine is in Tea True tea is made from the leaves of an Asian evergreen known as Camellia sinensis. White tea, green tea, oolong tea, and black tea all come from this plant, and all contain caffeine. Their herb teas are made from other, unrelated plants and do not have any caffeine. One exception is Yerba Maté, an herb tea that does contain caffeine. Researchers believe that in plants, caffeine works as a natural defense system to deter insects and other herbivores with the compound's bitter taste and stimulating qualities. And, not so surprisingly, it's the vulnerable, growing buds and young leaves of tea plants that manufacture the highest amounts of caffeine. Many factors influence how much caffeine is present in plucked tea leaves. These include the growing region, plant varietal, plant age, leaf age, length of the growing season, field conditions, soil nutrients, rainfall, and stress by pests. Final caffeine content may be further affected during production of the leaves into the finished “style” (white, green, etc.). How the tea is actually prepared plays an important role in how much caffeine makes it into your cup. Everything, from the amount of tea used to water temperature and brewing time to whether the leaves are steeped loose, in a tea bag, or strainer, becomes a factor. In general, though, more tea, hotter water, and longer steeping all contribute to more caffeine per cup. Given all of these variables, it really is difficult to answer the question, “How much caffeine is in this tea?” Because they know that caffeine is a concern, they offer these general ranges based on some of their products. Please keep in mind that these numbers reflect varying steeping times and amounts of tea leaves per cup. White Tea: 30-55 mg. (8 oz. Cup) Green Tea: 35-70 mg. (8 oz. Cup) Oolong Tea: 50-75 mg. (8 oz.
