OOLONG TEA
Oolong tea is a little trickier to calculate when it comes to the amount of caffeine per cup. Oolong can be made from a wide variety of tea leaves with a huge spectrum of flavors. Lightly oxidised oolong can have grassy flavors like a green tea, while a heavily oxidised oolong will taste more like black tea.
As for the caffeine, it ranges from 15mg to 55mg - the average is roughly 37mg of caffeine.

DON’T SQUEEZE YOUR BAG
I’m sure you’ve been guilty of committing tea bag assault at some point.
You know what I’m talking about. It’s like a scene from Law & Order. You’re trying to squeeze every last drop of goodness out of your tea bag, so you strangle it tightly with its own string.
Or, you use your spoon to smash it with all your might against the side of the cup.
On the show they call that blunt force trauma…and it’s a felony.
What you’re actually doing is squeezing bitter tannins back into your cup. Not good. Instead, remove it gently and lovingly from your cup. Be kind to your bag.
A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG. YOU CAN’T TELL HOW STRONG SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT HER IN HOT WATER.
Here’s a few other tea bag tips:
Choose a pyramid shaped tea bag so there’s room for the whole tea leaves to completely unfurl and plump up during steeping. This obviously won’t happen if you’re drinking typical supermarket bags filled with tea dust as opposed to premium whole leaf tea.
Make sure your tea bag is made from a plant-based material so it’s 100% biodegradable & compostable.
No bleached paper, staples or plastic thank you!!
