About Teas
Tea does contain some caffeine,
depending on type and how long it is brewed, but
the amount is typically one-third of the caffeine
in a cup of coffee. Black tea tends to have more
caffeine than green tea. Also, when brewing green
tea, if you soak the leaves a second time and
discard the first "liquor," most of
the caffeine is eliminated entirely.
