CaffeineThe consumption of 300 mg per day of caffeine has no adverse effects in most adults. Tea and coffee, per pound, have about the same amount of caffeine with some teas having almost twice as much as coffee. Tea, however, yields about 200 cups compared to about 40 cups for a pound of coffee. The difference in caffeine levels in tea types is due to the steep time. A white tea steeps for only 30 seconds yielding only 4 mg of caffeine per cup while black teas steeping 3 – 5 minutes will yield as little as 25 mg to as much as 110 mg per cup. Evidence is pretty convincing that a tea diet, a sensible diet that includes tea, is highly effective, affordable and enjoyable. *Health information gathered from the Tea Council web site and numerous other sources. |
