| Tea and Caffeine Content |
 |
 Green
Tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine unless it is decaffeinated. An
average cup (6 oz.) of green tea contains about 30 milligrams of caffeine.
This compares to a cup of black tea which
has about 40 milligrams and a cup of brewed coffee which has 100 milligrams.
Caffeine content is also affected by the length of the infusion in water.
Black tea infused for 5 minutes yields 40-100 milligrams, whereas a 3-minute
infusion produces 20-40 milligrams, or half as much.
 Herbal
tea such as chamomile tea is really not tea in the traditional sense and
has no caffeine in it.
The best anti-aging liquid
to drink is filtered water. Moderate tea consumption
if you are in good health and have no caffeine sensitivity or diseases such
as cardiac arrhythmias that can be triggered by caffeine, tea consumption
is acceptable.
