How much caffeine is there in a cup of tea?Updated 7 months ago

There are a ton of factors that can change the amount of caffeine in your cup, like water temperature and steeping time. Although it’s virtually impossible to measure the exact amount of caffeine in every cup, we‘ve tested all our teas to come up with a general rating system.


Here are our caffeine categories (you can find the caffeine rating for each tea on its product page):

Caffeine-freecontains 0 mg of caffeine per cup
Low caffeinecontains 1-19 mg of caffeine per cup
Medium caffeinecontains 20-39 mg of caffeine per cup. In the world of tea, our medium selection still means that you won't be getting the high caffeine content of a cup of coffee.
High caffeine*contains 40+ mg of caffeine per cup.

*Coffee contains about 142 mg of caffeine per cup.
