Caffeine & Antioxidants

All tea naturally contains caffeine, whether it's green, black, oolong or white tea. Since all tea comes from the same plant, it's not surprising that all tea shares similar characteristics. The exact caffeine content of tea is unfortunately, a matter still up for debate. On average, green teas have slightly less caffeine than black. However, any specific green tea could have more or less caffeine than any specific black tea. Some sources site dramatic caffeine differences between the different categories of teas, greatly confusing the matter. A great resource for scientific research of this nature is The Canadian Tea Council. Check out their website at . Luckily, all the research seems to agree that tea contains only about 1/3 of the caffeine found in coffee. Antioxidants are properties found in some foods that can reduce your risk of getting cancer and heart disease. All tea is high in antioxidants, but there is still debate over whether certain teas contain more antioxidants than others. Some studies say that white tea contains the most, followed by green tea, and then black tea. Other studies say that the antioxidant benefits are similar between categories.
