Furthermore, the caffeine content in tea is quite easy to manage while making it.
A nice tea is good for three to seven brewings, depending the type and your brewing preferences. I understand that the amount of caffeine in the pot falls by roughly an order of magnitude with each brewing. Thus if you like the tea but are concerned about the caffeine, just throw the first pot away. Many folks think the second has the best flavor anyway . . .
- silentbicycle 17y agoIf you just want to reduce the caffeine, steep it for just a few seconds before pouring out the first pot. The caffeine dissolves out almost immediately (it's very soluble in hot water), but you'll still have most of the tea's flavor. Herbal teas are also worth a try. I like rooibos and roasted barley. Korean grocery stores often have big bags of the latter ("barley tea"), and it's great iced. (Roasted barley is also used to add flavor to some darker beers.)
