Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 greetings all, i am replying to the below comment made recently. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ----- Um, no, green tea DOES have caffeine in it. All tea that comes from the actual " tea " plant, Camellia sinensis, has caffeine. Because there is caffeine in the plant. So unless it has been actively decaffeinated, it will have caffeine. In general, black tea has the most, green tea has a middling amount, and white tea has the least - though depending on how they're processed, that can be different for particular individual brands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ----- yes, green tea{variations in thousands exist} does have caffeine inside the leaves of it which is not in drug form. when 'science' identifies something, it must first isolate whatever it is. then, and only thereafter, can 'science' lay some claim to the material in an isolated|incoherent form. it never addresses any substance in concert or tandem with another specifically for identification|labeling whatever has been drug converted. there is no unified meaning|consensus of a " tea plant " in this world. as i have stated, we humans simply make things up as we go along over the eons and later on down a time-line treat these signifying markers as some form of 'gospel'. most individuals do not have any awareness of the so-called camellia assamica or the thousands of varied species of this sub-genus alongside camellia sinensis. and the fact that what is called white tea|green tea|oolong|black tea|darjeeling|plus more varieties/preparations are all from the same plant species! they are merely various stages of maturity & human intervention processing. so why all the fuss and fear about caffeine anyway? who(m) has engaged us to fear this single nutrient and confusedly think of it outside its form? we must educate ourselves, do the research and quintuple check our {re}sources yes! brewing fruition, ~Rezz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
