Caffeine in Tea - Facts and Myths

Give this man a contract with the BBC.

I work late nights in front of my computer, and very often I'll be having tea as I work. I find that if I have coffee the energy comes in too quickly and I get jittery, and very quickly it goes away. Tea helps me keep focused for the several hours I work for.

if tea drinking makes people as happy as you,, the world must drink tea!!! love your videos..

I'm a bit obsessed with these videos. Maybe very obsessed.

Oh thank god. I knew that green/white tea myth could not possibly be true. Logically it just made no sense, yet I saw it everywhere! My mind is now at ease.

This is easily your most visually interesting and well edited informational video to date!

All I ever wanted to know about caffeine in tea in 16 minutes... Just perfect

Wow the quality of the video is insane, information is clear and concise. Love it, it really helps educate the masses. You are doing a great service to the tea community!

Love. this. so. much. Don ! A study I read a while ago suggested the shorter you steep tea, the more caffeine you would get. Source was legit but common sense and cultural traditions were pointing the other way. Where do you stand on this ? Any sources ?

Always on a cheerful note. I started a business because I watch these vids. Thank you Don. A successful tea business for 7 years now because of your knowledge and inspiration. Cheers

One reason why people think caffeine is so bad is energy drinks. About half of them in the US have 300+mg per can. I work with people who drink 4 or 5 cans a day and complain about high blood pressure and heart palpitations. On top of that, it's not a naturally occurring caffeine so your body can't process it as well.

Your videos are phenomenal. I've been watching them all over the past few days. Props to you!! Keep it up! So well made!

Thank you for all the thorough work you do to provide us with compact information. It is very much appreciated!

I went from 304 lbs to a current 215lbs from eating whole foods and a lot of experimentation with types of work outs. I currently find bicycle riding and indoor rowing to be most beneficial. insomuch as an all body work out and calorie burn. Long story short I am serious about my health and have found that tea is probably more beneficial than coffee. I subbed to your channel because of the serious information you provided. Thank you and I kn ow have found a better use for my French Press until further notice

Let me tell you,first of all your channel is one of them that made me get more intrested in tea ,now I'm drinking quality tea on regular basis. Now about caffeine, I noticed that I'm not only sleep better,even having cup of oolong at 8 pm ,than.ever before,I'm calmer and I just feel better,my digestion and lbs symptoms improved. Thank you.

Across the world, we are replacing tea with coffee because of heavy marketing and proliferation of "café". Let's hope we return to tea and the beautiful tea rooms in near future with this wisdom!

I really appreciated this information. I cut out caffeinated drinks because they caused my blood pressure to spike and migraines. I noticed this effect when drinking coffee (robusta mostly). After cutting caffeine out, my blood pressure returned to normal. I am encouraged to think that it is safe to reintroduce small amounts of tea from time to time without having to worry about an adverse reaction. Thank you.

Thanks for taking us on this informative adventure! Your channel is incredibly well-executed. I appreciate your work greatly.

Hey Don! Great stuff here! I fell in love with tea many years ago and actually worked in the industry for a few years. This video hits home because the passion that I have for tea (which you understand for sure) is coupled with a caffeine sensitivity which, if I'm drinking tea, must be consumed in small amounts (half cup or less) at specific times of day (roughly 7am and 2pm). If I stray from this routine I will encounter headaches and moodiness. I've been on and off tea for the last 10 years and have always been trying to figure out how to continue my love of tea without the adverse affects of caffeine. BTW your videos are fantastic!

Thank you for adding references! Not only that but they are all reputable!! Definitley subscribing
