FAQs

Black teas tend to have the most caffeine, followed by Oolong and green teas, and finally, white teas. Herbal teas almost never contain caffeine.

Most of the caffeine from tea is extracted in the first brew, but there will still be some caffeine to extract in further brews. You can brew these energizing teas multiple times to enjoy a boost in energy throughout the day.

Yes, the longer you steep your tea, the more caffeine will make its way into the brew. However, over-brewing your tea can result in astringent and sometimes bitter flavors.

Technically no, but there are other compounds in tea that make the energy boost you get from it last longer. Many teas have L-theanine, for example, which can stabilize the rush you get from caffeine. Instead of a jittery sensation, you’ll feel a smoother increase in your energy levels.

No, L-theanine is an amino acid that research shows can boost relaxation and promote mental clarity. When combined with caffeine, it can mitigate some of the effects associated with caffeine, like rapid heart rate, restlessness and digestive issues.
