I thought I was just addicted tot he caffeine, but decaf Yorkshire Tea also seems to keep me coming back for more. Is there another reason why tea is go great?
I think there’s just something very pleasant and comforting about drinking a hot drink. Plus it tastes nice.
It depends on where you live. If you’re an American, it’s because you have a deep desire to swim in Boston harbor.
And if you’re southern American, it’s because the tea is loaded down with so much sugar, it should be reclassified as simple syrup.
“Decaffeinated” does not necessarily mean “caffeine free,” but the amount of caffeine should be significantly reduced to the point of being pointless… Unless you happen to drink a lot of it.
I think most of the answers are a lot more helpful, but somebody had to “well actually…” it.
Well, it’s something like 5-25x less, depending a lot on… things.
So if it’s poorly decaffeinated, and the drinker doesn’t have a tolerance for caffeine, then it still might be noticeably psychoactive.
I know when I’m off caffeine for a bit longer, even a normal small cola is very noticeable. So several cups of decaffeinated tea surely would be as well. More of a compound effect though.
I tried looking up caffeine content info for this particular brand of tea and I came up empty handed. It would have been interesting to know, for comparison purposes… If something like that is even calculated.
If they’re not mandated to list it, they probably don’t even know it.
Energy drinks and other high caffeine beverages have to be labeled often nowadays, but low caffeine beverages don’t.
The amount of caffeine isn’t listed in Coke either, it’s just “a flavouring”, even though the amount is quite significant.
I could have sworn it has been listed lately, but maybe I’ve just committed it to memory…
Interestingly it’s on their website
https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/about-us/faq-demo/how-much-caffeine-is-in-a-coca-cola
I mean listed on the side of a can.
But that will probably also depend on where you are. I love in Finland and the regulations sre pretty strict for everything, but it’s currently only “high caffeine content” which has to be listed. The limit used to be 32mg/100ml, but now I think I’ve seen even 15mg/100ml on some products. Coke still wouldn’t fall under that, having 10mg/100ml according to that site you linked.
Oh yeah, me too. I have one of those bigger bottles lying around and 57mg/20 fl oz right above the Smart Label code that nobody uses.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was no hard rule about it. Like how beer sometimes mentions calories.
Drinking tea has a really calming effect. You can’t chug boiling water, now can you? You got to wait for the pot to boil, etc.
I’m the same, I crave tea like crazy. My coworker just brought me some “energy” herbal tea back from Japan which is just delicious despite me not really being sure what it is.
You beat me to it.
