Many people turn to herbal tea in an effort to lower or avoid caffeine intake, yet it should be remembered that herbal tea does not neutralize or diminish the effects of caffeine; caffeine is an addictive stimulant which alters central nervous system activity and some herbal teas contain small amounts. Caffeine may cause anxiety, nervousness and difficulty sleeping in people sensitive to its effects while increasing heart rate and blood pressure levels as well.

If you are uncertain if your herbal tea contains caffeine, it is a good idea to read its label. A true herbal tea does not use leaves from Camellia sinensis plant which are used to produce black, green, white, oolong teas. Instead, herbal tea is typically created using various plants and herbs such as chamomile, lemon balm mint rooibos ginger etc.

Herbal teas tend to be caffeine-free, although some varieties contain small amounts of caffeine due to the inclusion of yerba mate or guarana leaves. People sensitive to caffeine should steer clear of such beverages since some herbal blends can contain up to 80mg per cup!

It is important that anyone sensitive to caffeine read the label thoroughly in order to ensure they find something suitable.

Tea has long been consumed as an elegant beverage. The benefits of drinking tea include its ability to prevent cardiovascular diseases, improve mood, reduce depression and assist weight loss. Tea also contains polyphenols and flavonoids which act as antioxidants and may lower cancer risks; in addition, its source provides polyanine which acts as an amino acid which aids stress relief.

A cup of tea’s caffeine content depends on its type, quantity of water used and temperature at which it was brewed; these two factors have the greatest influence. Whoever wishes to reduce their caffeine consumption should choose to brew their tea at a lower temperature and for shorter time, and with boiling water instead of iced tea as this will also help lower its caffeine content. Some teas can be decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate Method or CO2 Method, which involves applying a chemical solvent and then extracting caffeine using carbon dioxide at high temperatures and pressure. Unfortunately, this process may alter some beneficial components present in the tea itself and be less healthy option than alternatives.
