WATCH NOW Caffeine Myths, Busted Emeric Harney dispels 5 common myths regarding tea & caffeine. Watch the video and get savvy about these general misconceptions. Myth #1 Caffeine-free tea is the same as decaffeinated tea.Decaf teas still contain tiny, tiny amounts (.03%) of caffeine. However, herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free. Myth #2 Herbal tea is tea.Herbal teas are actually not teas at all but Tisanes because they are often made from bark, flowers or fruits. To be considered a tea, the leaves must come from the Camellia sinensis plant. Myth #3 White tea doesn’t contain as much caffeine as other teas.Contrary to popular belief, many white teas from China can actually have higher amounts of caffeine than black teas because they contain more tips or buds. Learn more about white teas on our White Tea 101 page. Myth #4 Dipping your tea bag or sachet for 20-30 seconds will help to decaffeinate it.To remove most of the caffeine in your tea, you’d need to infuse it for upwards of 15 minutes, dump the water and steep again. Also, read our blog about how tea is decaffeinated. Myth #5 Tea has more caffeine than coffee.It actually doesn’t, and we talk more about that in this article. Tea also has the added amino acid L-Theanine, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin, giving you a much calmer stimulation effect.
