MONDAY COFFEE CUP

Monday… that poor day that nobody likes 😦 How would you feel if you’re Monday? Haha, don’t hate Mondays, it’s just a day like every other 😀 You may miss all the fun!

But, this post is not about Mondays, although you could relate to it if you need a caffeine boost. Right now, I do. It’s been raining here all day, it’s cold and grey, but hey! there’s so much to do away from the weather outside. I don’t let it kill my vibe!

So, I’m still getting a lot of questions and see people are confused about which tea contains caffeine and which doesn’t. I’ll show you the difference between the three labels you could find when buying tea in your local shop.

First, only teas that come from Camellia Sinensis herb contain caffeine, different levels of it, but they’re all naturally caffeinated teas. That includes black tea, green tea, yellow tea, white tea, pu-erh, and oolong (there are some others, too, but these are the common ones).

All other teas are herbal teas and they don’t have any caffeine.

Now, here are the three labels you may find on tea boxes: CAFFEINE TEA, DECAFFEINATED, and CAFFEINE-FREE.

CAFFEINE TEA– These are the ones I just explained above, they naturally contain some level of caffeine.

DECAF TEA– These are the ones that are treated with Methyl Chloride, Ethyl Acetate, or Carbon Dioxide. Through that process, caffeine is extracted from the herb but still not completely. 

CAFFEINE-FREE TEA– These are herbal teas that naturally don’t contain any caffeine, so you are safe to go with them.

Some people are sensitive to caffeine, so this is the information that could be useful. On the other hand, a lot of people think that tea is just a healthier coffee. No, it’s not. There’s nothing wrong with coffee unless you drink it in high dosages and there are also herbal teas. Coffee and tea are two completely different beverages. 

Whichever you choose, just make sure to follow your body signs and consume them to the level of pleasure. Every extreme is not good, but your body will send you signals when it’s time to slow down 🙂 That’s why it’s important to learn to listen to it. 

My friend usually drinks about seven mugs of tea each day. But that’s not all, she brews a cup of coffee and a cup of tea at the same time! How crazy is that?! That cup of tea serves her as water besides coffee 😀 But she does that for a long time because it feels good for her (so there’s nothing crazy about it!). And that’s the call. We’re all different, therefore we should all follow ourselves to what fits our body only. 

Hope this post will be helpful next time you go into a search for new tea 🙂 Still, if you get confused about any type of label, let me know, I’ll try to help as much as I can.
