What is the level of caffeine in an average cup of black tea?
Tara
I heard of this too. In fact I posted under the "decaf" topic before I saw your comment. I reuse my leaves and drink tea most of the day. I don't notice the effects of more caffeine like I used to when I drank soda after soda. So I'd say it works. I read about this at teatimeworldwide.com

If one made tea like that in Ireland (where I live) or England, the majority of people would consider it an appalling waste of good tea.
The amount of caffeine in tea, has never done me any harm and I am now 76 years of age and still going strong.

Perhaps it is a waste of tea, but as I am getting my toddler to enjoy tea with me I home-decaf it with the above method. I also water his cup down quite a bit. He still really enjoys it,and we get to have another little mommy-son moment. My hubby is a bit leary, but yet he doesn't have any problem giving him sips of coke or small bits of chocolate!

In the world of Los Angeles, where leaf-blowers and screechers on cellphones are a constant, the amount of caffeine in black tea and any potential harm is not a worthy subject of complaint. I find that I am greatly encouraged, lightened and enlightened through the imbiding of pot after pot of good keemun and yunnan teas during my piano practice and study of Beethoven Sonatas, Bach Fugues, Chopin, Brahms, and Messiaen's organ masterpieces. I am never happier than in the midst of my own private communion with these masters. And my practice seesions are much invigorated by pots of good tea, enabling me to replace the noise that has overtaken our city, with the nourishment of music.

I was touched by your words, "From tea we draw friendship and eternity." I have felt the same in the great pleasure I have enjoyed sharing tea with companion who could enjoy silence and the serene bouquet of a good tea on a wintry day. Though I currently live in Los Angeles, we have long, wintry days of rain rain and more rain. Hillsides slide away, rains falls without regard, and so I pour more tea and we sit securely (though I live in the edge of the hills!) It is wondrous, isn't it, what communion there is among those who truly enjoy a good, hot cup of tea, properly brewed. Though it's 4 in the morning, I think I shall not rest without a "cuppa."

Good for you. I have three sons, all tea lovers. It's their favorite beverage when playing Dungeons and Dragons. My family didn't start drinking hot tea until after our trip to London this past spring. I am nearly fifty and my sons are teenagers so think of all the time we wasted over the years not enjoying tea to the fullest.We
argue over which teas are the best at the dinner table. I like Lapsang Souchong and they like Whittards Assam blend and Mom likes Whittards orginal.
Keep tea in your childs life he'll thank you for it later.

Thanks for the note. While I personally cannot recommend milk in tea, if this was a NECESSITY, I'd say a ceylon or an irish breakfast would also work well (Ceylon tea takes flavors and additions very well).
