Tea and Treasures black teas

Brewing Black Teas

Black tea should be steeped for 3 - 5 minutes with boiling water.

Black tea contains approximately 30 - 40 mg of caffeine per cup. In comparison, the same amount of regular coffee contains approximately 110 - 120 mg of caffeine.

You can remove approximately 80% of the caffeine from any cup of tea by steeping the tea for 30 seconds and then pouring that tea down the drain, refilling your cup with boiling water and continue steeping with the same tea for the desired amount of time. Black tea is full of antioxidants.
