Caffeine Information

The amount of caffeine in a cup of tea is determined by how you are brewing your tea. If brewed properly at the right temperature and for the correct amount of time, the caffeine content will vary by the type of tea you are brewing. Use the chart below as an estimated guideline.

BEVERAGE	CAFFEINE
TEA (Loose Leaf, 8 oz.)
Black	45-60 mg
Oolong	20-50 mg
Green	10-25 mg
White	6-20 mg
Decaffeinated	2-10 mg
Rooibos	0 mg
Herbal (Tisane)	0 mg
OTHER
Hot Cocoa (6 oz)	10-14 mg
Coca-Cola (12 oz)	35-45 mg
Pepsi-Cola (12 oz)	36-38 mg
Monster Energy (16 oz)	160 mg
COFFEE (8 oz)
Brewed	175-210 mg
Decaffeinated	2-12 mg
Instant	27-173 mg

To eliminate caffeine intake completely, we recommend switching to herbal tisanes, because even decaffeinated tea and coffee contain a trace (between 2 and 12 milligrams) of caffeine.
