The caffeine content of this tea is MEDIUM. This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family.

Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.
