Have you ever wonder what tea has the most caffeine in it? I have because I drink tea frequently, almost every day. One evening while I'm enjoying drinking my green tea, the thought crosses my mind to figure out does green tea has caffeine? Therefore, I would like to share with all Steemians with my founding about it. That is how this article born. As a tea drinker, I have tremendous curiosity toward tea because it comes from the same plant but in the same plant, there are different tea come out from it.

So What is Caffeine?

Caffeine is a psychoactive drug that mostly consumed by billions of peoples every day worldwide for a wake-up boost. Caffeine is a stimulant on the central nervous system that reduces fatigue and drowsiness which can be fou​nd over some sixty plants that include tea leaves, coffee beans, cacao pods and kola nuts. Comparing caffeine and much​ other psychoactive substance, nearly in all parts of the world out there is known to be legal​ and unregulated.

If you consume caffeine at usual​ doses, it has​ variable effects on learning and memory, but it generally improves reaction time, wakefulness, concentration, and motor coordination. Caffeine also can delay or prevent sleep and enhances task performance during sleep deprivation. When I need to work late, then I will consume caffeine. ​Usually,​ night shift worker who uses​ caffeine make fewer mistakes due to drowsiness.

Tea and Caffeine

Tea caffeine release related to how do you made your tea. Water temperature and steeping time influence the amount of caffeine in tea. The longer you steep your tea and the hotter your water temperature is, the more caffeine​ released into your cup. ​
