Jasmine Green Tea caffeinated or decaffeinated?

Ever heard of Stassen Jasmine Green Tea?





I love the taste and relaxes me, but something else I've been trying to find out, reading the label box, and it's all in chinese and some in english. Nothing indicates whether it's caffeine or decaffeinated?





Looking for tea lovers whom may know more then me, with their replies...Big thanks Tea lovers!

Jasmine Green Tea caffeinated or decaffeinated?
I'm a real fan of jasmine green tea, and I don't believe I've ever seen a decaffeinated version of it. Assume your tea has about as much caffeine as a regular cup of green tea (about 20 milligrams per 8 ounces, or 1/4 as much as a cup of home-brewed coffee).





Tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid which is believed to produce feelings of relaxation in spite of the tea's caffeine content.
Reply:Unless you can find anything on the package specicifically saying that it is decaffinated, it is best to assume that there is caffeine. Also, the caffeine in tea is chemically different from that in coffee or sodas, and the difference can make tea produce a relaxed state instead of a jittery one.
Reply:Hello there! It's great to find someone else out there with a great love for tea. :) I love it! I worked at Starbucks for about 3 months and learned about the caffeine content of all types of teas, so to try and answer your question, one thing I know about green tea in general is that it typically contains the highest amount of caffeine compared to all other kinds. However, I don't know about your specific kind... I looked it up but couldn't find anything concrete or legitimate about its caffeine content. I've heard that it's lower in caffeine than typical green teas, but I'm not sure... I do hope this helps a bit. Happy sipping! :)
