![]() ![]() The confusion has been the result of more broad and unqualified statements that compare apples to oranges and not apples to apples, so to speak. In fact, green tea may have more caffeine than black tea. There is much study and discussion on this subject which suggests that his may not be the case. It has been generally believed that Chinese green tea has less caffeine than black tea. We will refer to a well detailed study published by the British Government (Survey of Caffeine Levels in Hot Beverages, Food Standards Agency, UK, August 2004): So how much caffeine does tea and coffee have? Scientific studies and consumer group reports can both be less than detailed about what teas were used in their research. In fact, with all the varieties of teas and coffees available, the different methods of manufacturing and preparing them for consumption and the different amounts consumed, both statements are in need of significant qualification. It is just as common to hear the opposite point of view. It is common to hear people say “Tea has much more caffeine than coffee”. We do not recommend teas on the basis of health benefits and at this point, do not think it is prudent to recommend tea-drinking for anything other than to enjoy the wonderful flavour and the joyous experience of enjoying tea alone or with friends. We believe that any food product can have positive and/or negative health effects and in varying degrees for different individuals. While there are centuries of tradition and empirical evidence, there is little modern scientific consensus that supports the health benefits of tea and the effect of anti-oxidants in the body to prevent anything has recently been drawn sharply into focus. Each person must make their own assessment of the facts. For the average person, much of this interest is focused on ancient claims related to weight loss and more modern claims of cancer-prevention due to tea’s anti-oxidant properties. There are many health benefits attributed to drinking Chinese tea, ranging from feelings of well-being to near magical cures.
