Different Teas with different Caffeine content

Tea has many health benefits such as reducing our risk of heart disease, protecting our bones, helping weight loss and having a high amount of antioxidants. But tea leaves also contain more caffeine, which can cause anxiety and insomnia for some people.

Black Tea

Black tea generally has about 40 to 70 milligrams of caffeine per eight ounce serving while coffee itself has about 95 to 200 milligrams.

Green Tea

The caffeine content in green tea falls mid-range with 35 to 45 milligrams per eight ounce serving. Thus green tea is a gentler source of stimulant

White Tea

This type of tea has the least amount of caffeine out of all teas with only 15 to 30 milligrams per eight ounce serving. White tea is known to be one of the most delicate tea varieties because it is the least processed.

Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea that offers a more diverse flavor, body and complexity than any popular tea variants in the U.S. Its caffeine content is in between the amount in black tea and green tea with 37 to 55 milligrams per eight ounce serving.

Herbal Tea

Herbal teas such as chamomile, ginger and peppermint contain no caffeine at all. This is because these types of teas are not made from the camellia sinensis plant as most teas. They are made instead from dried flowers, leaves, seeds, or roots that are generally caffeine-free. If you are looking for a tea to drink at night, herbal tea is a good choice.
