Caffeine
Most people are surprised to learn that black, oolong, green, white & puerh tea leaves are all from the same species, an evergreen plant called Camellia Sinensis. The differences in taste & caffeine levels evolve from the way the tea leaves are processed.
The following caffeine levels are based on milligrams per 8oz of infused tea. For reference, 8oz of brewed Coffee has 95mg on average.
