does tea have caffine in it???
:confused:
it all depends on the type of tea really. The majority of teas does have it in but some of the herbal or green teas does not.
humm... *lost in though*...
my mom says that the tea we drink has caffine, and i didnt believe her so i asked you guys ahhaa.
Tea that is made from leaves of the tea tree has caffeine. Not as much as coffee, but more than soda. It's often called black tea, pekoke tea, green tea, etc. It's all the same plant, it's just processed or flavored differently.
Herbal tea is made from plants other then the tea tree, for example chamomile flowers or orange peels. These teas do not contain caffeine.
weired, no wonder my mom wont let me mix tea and coffee together haha. i'll have a caffine over load.
MMmmmm Tea!
I had a cup of Green Tea the other night.. It tastes so good and feels so good on a soar throat. Especially adding some honey to it.. Mmmm.... I think i'll go make some now!:D
its funny cuz i am drinking teah too!! hahaQuote:

Green tea and some other teas don't, but most teas DO...........:p
OH, BTW, it is possible to de-caffeinate tea, just like it is possible to de-caffeinate coffee. So, you can buy de-caffeinated black or green tea, that is made from tea tree leaves.
Got it? LOL ;)
Kfamr, I know! I drink hot tea with lemon and honey every time I get a sore throat.
My grandpa used to make it like that ... but with whiskey in it, too. Tasted HORRID, but it certainly worked! I don't make it like that now, but I certainly remember choking it down as a kid. Maybe we just got well out of self-defense.
Mmmmmm whiskey.......uh....ummmm I mean Mmmmmmm tea!!!! LOL
Ewwwwwwwwwww :o
Actually, green tea DOES contain caffeine, unless you buy green tea that has been de-caffeinated. Natural green tea contains caffeine.Quote:

Green tea and black tea is exactly the same product, it comes from the exact same leaves of the same tea tree. The only difference is in how it is prepared.
Green tea is tea leaves that are harvested fresh, hence "green", and dried quickly. Black tea is allowed to ferment and dry slowly, hence "black". Same plant, though, therefore same amount of caffeine.
Really? The green tea we buy has no caffine though. :confused: I guess there are different kinds then, because the one we buy is not decaffinated. Its naturally caffine-free. Maybe a different plant.Quote:
