Can I assume all white teas contains caffeine?!


Question: Can I assume all white teas contains caffeine!?
If the tea-bag says neither "caffeine-free" or "contains caffeine" can I then assume that this specific white tea contain caffeine!?

The company who makes the tea has no contact info, even online, so I hope someone knows!. ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Unless the Tea specifically states that it is caffeine-free, it will have caffeine in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes white tea will have caffeine present!. White tea is from the same plant as green, oolong, and black/red tea!. The plant naturally has caffeine in it!. Now the different times the leaves are picked and the different way the teas are prepared will have different amounts of caffeine content per drink but they all have it!. Black/red has the most at 50mg per serving!. Green tea has 30mg per serving!. Oolong is somewhere in the middle!. White tea is picked earlier than all of them and I believe it is prepared the same as green tea!. It may or may not have the same amount as green but I can't remember!. Some say it may not cause it is picked earlier but it has more antioxidants than older leaves and that is why it is picked so young!. So their argument may not be sound at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All teas naturally contain caffeine as do all coffees!. Most will say they have been naturally decaffeinated, but that just means they have been procesed with a chemical that strips the caffeine out!.

Sodas on the other hand are caffeine free until the company adds the stuff in!. Funny huh!? Caffeine free sodas used to cost more than than the regular stuff!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

all teas green,white,black have caffeine unless the caffeine is removes even tea that says it is naturally decaffeinated stiff has small amounts of caffeine, herbal tea may not contain caffeine since herbal teas usually don't actually have tea leaves in them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say yes, but considering that the tea leaves are young when they are plucked, the caffeine levels might not be as high!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes - caffeine will be present!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
