I am sensitive to caffeine. Which of Octavias teas should I drink if I wish to avoid caffeine?
All types of tea have less caffeine than coffee, and green and white tea have less caffeine than black tea. You can also decaffeinate your tea at home. Because caffeine is highly soluble, tea leaves release the majority of their caffeine content in the first 30 seconds of steeping. Therefore, pre-brewing tea for 30 seconds, discarding the water, and then brewing the used tea leaves will significantly lower the level of caffeine in your cup. However, this method does not remove all of the caffeine and may also wash away some of the beneficial antioxidants found in tea. All teaeven decaffeinated teacontains a small amount of caffeine. If you wish to avoid caffeine completely, it is best to choose one of our completely caffeine-free herbal alternatives, such as Rooibos and Roses or Calming Chamomile. Please see Tea & Caffeine.
