1.Caffeine In Loose Leaf Black Tea Vs Loose Leaf Oolong Tea According to the article "Analysis of the Proportion of Bound Caffeine in Different Teas" published in the Journal of Yunnan Agricultural University, the proportion of bound caffeine in teas with a greater degree of polyphenol oxidation is inferred to be greater according to the experimental results. Among the black teas, Pu'er tea (ripe tea) and Liu Bao tea have higher content of caffeine binding, accounting for about 20% of the total caffeine. The proportion of caffeine bound in Anhua black tea (2.15%), which is also a black tea, was much lower than that in Hubei old green brick (7.43%). In loose leaf black tea, the proportion of combined caffeine was 7.58% to 12.50%. Among the loose leaf oolong tea, the proportion of caffeine bound in the sample of Dahongpao was also higher (4.52%). Among the oolong tea samples, the proportion of caffeine bound in Tieguanyin and Jiedingtian oolong tea samples was close to that of green tea samples (<2%). The proportion of caffeine bound in yellow tea and white tea ranged from 2% to 6%. The proportion of caffeine bound in green tea was generally low. The proportion of caffeine bound in Pu-erh raw tea (which is a green tea) was small (0.94%). Therefore, we can roughly summarize the caffeine content of different loose leaf tea from high to low: Puerh tea > black tea > oolong tea > yellow tea > white tea > green tea > decaffeinated tea > cold brewed tea. Experience the bold flavors of our loose leaf black tea selection and awaken your senses with every sip. Discover the true essence of tea at iTeaworld. >>> 2.The Effect Of Brewing Methods On The Caffeine Content In Tea. As the steeping time increases, there is a slight increase in the amount of caffeine in the tea. As the number of steeping increases, the caffeine content in the tea drops dramatically. As the water temperature for steeping increases, the amount of caffeine in the tea gradually increases. To reduce the caffeine content in tea, the most effective method is to avoid drinking the first infusion. Additionally, you can also lower the water temperature for brewing. 3.The Caffeine Content Of a Cup Of Tea Adults' daily caffeine intake can be categorized into the following levels: 80-250mg is a low intake, 300-400mg is a medium intake, and more than 500mg is a high intake . The caffeine content of tea brewed daily (hot water brewing, each brewing time of 10-30 seconds) is affected by the brand of tea, the temperature of the water in which it is brewed and so on, and the caffeine mass dissolved in 2.0g of tea brewed 3 times is about 60-90mg. The mass of caffeine dissolved in 2.0g of tea steeped 3 times is about 60-90mg. Explore the timeless classics with iTeaworld's Classic Tea Selection. From bold black teas to delicate green teas, we have your favorites. >>> 4.Caffeine Content of a Cup of Coffee The average caffeine content of a cup of coffee is 100mg, but in reality it varies greatly from coffee to coffee. A cup of espresso can have as little as 50mg of caffeine, while a cup of drip coffee can have as much as 200mg of caffeine. It's hard to say exactly how much caffeine each type of coffee contains, but all you need to know is which ones will help you refresh your mind without exceeding the 300mg daily limit. There are also many factors that affect the amount of caffeine content. Unlock the secrets of Caffeine in loose leaf tea at iTeaworld. Discover the perfect balance between energy and tranquility with our meticulously crafted teas. >>> 4.1 Caffeine Content of Coffees with Different Levels of Roasting Many people think that the caffeine content of dark roasted coffee is higher because the coffee has a stronger flavor. But in fact light roasted coffee has more caffeine per unit, this is because light roasted coffee is denser. 4.2 Caffeine content of coffee powder Each type of coffee requires a different thickness of coffee powder, for example, espresso and Turkish coffee require very finely ground coffee powder, so the caffeine content per unit of these two types of coffee is higher. 4.3 Caffeine content of different bean varieties The caffeine content of different coffee varieties varies. Robusta coffee (which is of lower quality and mostly used for instant coffee) has twice the caffeine content of Arabica coffee (which is of higher quality and accounts for 70% of the world's total coffee supply). Excelsa coffee is a naturally lower caffeine coffee variety and is produced in very low quantities. It is usually used in blending with Arabica to make lower caffeine coffees. 4.4 Caffeine content of different brewing methods The longer the brewing time, the higher the caffeine content. The brewing time varies depending on the brewing method, for example, French press coffee needs to be soaked for a few minutes before pressing, and therefore has a higher caffeine content; drip coffee also has a higher caffeine content, and espresso with a longer brewing time, such as Lungo, also has a higher caffeine content. In addition, the ratio of water to powder also affects the caffeine content, so if more coffee powder is used, the caffeine content will be higher. 4.5 Caffeine Content of Coffee Produced by Different Cafes The caffeine content of coffee made by different brands of cafes varies widely, for example, McCafe's coffee is 1/2 the size of Starbucks coffee in the same size situation, while Caribou is in between. 4.6 As a consumer, how do you choose how much caffeine to have: Ask the waiter; Coffee with milk and other flavorings is usually a little less caffeinated for the same size; If you are not sure, try to order a smaller cup.

There’s nothing quite like the aroma and taste of a fresh cup of loose leaf tea. By brewing whole tea leaves at home, you can craft a delicious, soothing cup of tea and fully appreciate its nuanced flavor. You can get the best flavor out of high-quality loose leaf tea by following a few easy procedures, regardless of whether you enjoy powerful black teas, vegetal green teas, sweet white teas, or complex oolongs. We'll go over the tips for brewing a great cup of loose leaf tea at home, from picking the best loose leaf tea to streamlining the brewing procedure. Continue reading for advice on choosing tea, necessary tools, perfect brewing instructions, and more. Let's start from the beginning with how to select premium quality loose leaf tea... II. Selecting High Quality Loose Leaf Tea The starting point for brewing great tasting loose leaf tea is choosing fresh, high-grade tea leaves. Here are some tips for selecting premium quality loose leaf tea: ● Check the expiration date and look for the production date or "packed on" date. Fresher tea leaves make better tea. ● Buy from reputable sellers and tea companies known for quality, like iTeaworld. This helps ensure you get freshly packed tea direct from the source. ● Look for whole leaf tea rather than broken leaves or dust. Whole leaves contain the most flavor oils. ● Consider the tea type and grade. Higher grade black, green and oolong tea will provide more complexity. ● Store tea properly in a sealed opaque package in a cool, dark space to preserve freshness and prevent moisture. ● Buy tea in smaller quantities more often for ultimate freshness. Tea leaves stale over time. With high quality loose leaf tea leaves from a reputable seller like iTeaworld, you'll have an excellent foundation for creating delicious tea. III. Brewing Methods Once you have flavorful, fresh loose leaf tea leaves, it's time to brew them into a tasty cup of tea. There are two main brewing methods to try: Western style vs. Eastern gongfu style Western Style Tea leaves are steeped in a teapot, infuser, or strainer in the Western method of brewing. Black tea and various oolongs are frequently brewed using this technique. Simply pour loose tea into a tea ball, teapot with a strainer, or infuser basket. Then, depending on the type of tea, add freshly heated water and let steep for 3-5 minutes before serving. To get the required strength, change the tea to water ratio. Gongfu Style A more delicate tea, whether oolong, white, or green, is frequently prepared using the traditional Chinese technique known as gongfu. It entails steeping in smaller teaware several times for brief periods of time. Utilize a tiny teapot, such as a gaiwan or kyusu. more tea leaves per amount of water. Pour into a serving pitcher after a quick infusion of 15 to 45 seconds. Repeat the short steeps 3–6 times after that. Both brewing techniques yield flavorful tea. Try different flavors to determine your choice. IV. Optimizing Flavor Brewing loose leaf tea is as much art as science. Try these tips to coax the most flavor possible from your tea leaves: ● Always start with fresh, filtered water. Soft, pure water allows the tea's flavors to shine. ● Pay attention to water temperature. Each tea type has an ideal temp that releases its flavors. Cooler for green tea, hotter for black. ● Experiment with steeping times. Taste testing shorter and longer steeps will help perfect the strength and development of flavors. ● Adjust the tea leaf to water ratio. More leaves or less water results in a stronger brew, while less tea or more water creates a milder infusion. ● Try multiple shorter steeps versus one long one. This progressively extracts different nuances with each subsequent steep. ● Use a small vessel like a gaiwan or teapot so aromas are concentrated. Brew into a cup instead of pot to prevent oversteeping. You may achieve the right flavor profile for each tea by dialing in the ideal water, time, temperature, and tea ratio. To create your ideal cup of tea, taste test the ingredients and tweak the settings. V. Serving and Enjoying Tea After mastering the brew, here are some tips for optimally serving and savoring your loose leaf tea: 1. Pour the freshly brewed tea into pre-heated teacups or mugs to maintain the proper drinking temperature. 2. Consider adding milk, honey or lemon to black, green or herbal teas. Sweeteners like sugar or agave complement floral white teas. 3. Pair teas with light snacks like scones, cookies, finger sandwiches or fruit. The light fare enhances the tea experience. 4. Develop your palate by cupping the tea and slurping to aerate it. Take time to appreciate the aroma and complex flavors. 5. Use clear glass teaware to admire the tea's color. Observe how the leaves unfurl and expand during steeping. 6. Brew different tea types side by side to compare flavors. Chinese teas like green, white, oolong and loose leaf black tea make an educational tasting. 7. Enjoy the ritual of preparing and sipping tea. Brewing loose tea is a calming, meditative process. Properly serving tea helps preserve the aroma, temperature and taste of your leafy brew. Sipping slowly lets you fully appreciate all of the subtle flavors and sensations. VI. Conclusion Crafting flavorful loose leaf tea at home is an enjoyable ritual that lets you fully appreciate the nuances of premium tea.

On rainy days, it is perfect to hold a cup of tea, chill out, or casually turn the pages of a book. Listening to the sound of the rain and sipping tea slowly is a pleasure. Then, what kind of tea can be tasted in rainy days without losing much of its taste? What kind of tea can warm and comfort your body and mind on rainy days? First, the humidity is high on rainy days. Dry tea is easy to absorb water, especially for tea that is newly produced. After being brewed, tea with a high level of moisture tends to have little fragrance and insipid flavor. Thus, the tea that is known for its fragrance is not suitable for rainy days. It is better to choose tea with a rich flavor. Thus, fermented Pu’er tea, black tea, Liubao tea, and various old teas are good choices on rainy days.   Second, the weather on rainy days might influence a person’s mood.
