The caffeine content of the tea varies widely from one tea to another, and depends on how tea is made, but it tends to be within the range of 15-70 mg per 8 ounces.
Caffeine can also be measured in terms of milligrams of caffeine by grams of dry tea. A teaspoon of dry tea leaves tends to weigh around 2.5 grams, the amount is usually used to make a single cup, although this varies according to the type of tea. A study of the caffeine content of the teas (after soaking) found that the tea caffeine content varied from about 3 mg / g to 30 mg / g, which would result in a cup of tea containing bet

In most cases, tea has much less caffeine than coffee; A typical coffee cup contains 80-135 mg of caffeine. However, it is important to keep in mind that these figures are per cup, not per serving, and in the case of large serving sizes, and also with espresso and other beverages with caffeine, caffeine per serving can be considerably higher.
In the US. UU The size of the standard "small" portion is 12 ounces. A recent study of commercial coffee sellers in Australia discovered that approximately a quarter of the espresso samples contained more than 120 mg of caffeine per serving, approximately 1/8 and more contained 167 mg or more per serving, and the highest It contained 214 mg per serving. [1] The authors of this study concluded that the figures most often cited in the caffeine content tend to underestimate the actual caffeine content.
How much caffeine is safe to consume?
To place these figures in perspective, the current consensus of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is that it is safe for pregnant women to consume
At 200 mg of caffeine daily. [2] For the general public, the Mayo Clinic recommends that 200-300 mg of caffeine a day is safe, but that 500-600 mg per day can cause a series of health problems. [3] People with a deteriorated liver function, and people who take medicines that inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme may have a safe threshold even lower.
If you drink a stronger tea containing 60 mg of caffeine / cup, 8 cups a day would be a safe amount, or 3 for pregnant women. For a weaker tea, with 30 mg / cup, twice this amount would remain a safe amount of caffeine. Different people react differently from caffeine, so an amount that is safe or pleasant for a person may not be healthy for all.
L-Teanina in tea interacts with caffeine
In addition to caffeine, tea also contains L-Theanine; Teanin can interact with caffeine, allowing a smaller dose of caffeine to have a stronger effect in terms of concentration and alert status. This can explain why tea seems to provide a stronger increase in alert state for some people than would be expected from its caffeine alo
Does black, green or white teas contain more or less caffeine?
Can not be generalized about the caffeine content by tea type. Many tea companies, and even some good reputation entities, such as the United States Department of Agriculture, have made deceptive generalizations about the caffeine content of the extensive kinds of tea. It is a generalized myth that black tea contains more caffeine than green tea, and another myth that white tea contains the lowest caffeine of all teas.
Studies that have really measured the caffeine content of a large number of different teas have systematically found that caffeine levels vary more among individual teas than in the spacious categories of tea, such as black, white, green, oolong or pu-erh. A study published in 2005 at the Journal of Food Science listed, among other things, the caffeine content of 77 different teas and found a wide range of caffeine content between green and black tea. [4] Surprisingly, tea in this study that was found to contain the greatest caffeine was a white tea, solidly dissipating the myth over white tea.
