How much caffeine is in tea?
Tea generally contains less caffeine than coffee, but the exact amount varies by type. Most teas have between 15 to 70 mg of caffeine per cup, offering a gentler energy lift without the harsh crash.
Understanding caffeine levels helps you choose teas that support calm focus, relaxation, or a gentle pick-me-up without overstimulation.
What factors affect caffeine levels in tea?
The caffeine content in tea depends on the leaf type, processing, brewing time, and water temperature. Black teas usually have the most caffeine, followed by green, white, and herbal teas, which often have none.
Longer steeping increases caffeine extraction, while cooler water releases less caffeine. Velvet Rabbit Tea’s biodegradable pyramid bags make it easy to control brewing time for your desired caffeine effect.
