IS THERE CAFFEINE IN ICED TEA?
when it comes to iced tea, one question that often surfaces is: does it contain caffeine? it's a valid concern, especially for those sensitive to caffeine or looking to reduce their intake. today, let's clear the air about caffeine in iced tea.
understanding caffeine in iced tea
traditionally, iced tea is made from black or green tea leaves, which naturally contain caffeine. the amount of caffeine in iced tea can vary depending on the type of tea leaf, the brewing method, and the steeping time. generally, an 8-ounce serving of iced tea can contain anywhere from 15 to 70 milligrams of caffeine.
iced tea's caffeine content isn't a fixed value; it fluctuates based on several factors. traditionally crafted from black or green tea leaves, which inherently contain caffeine, the final caffeine content in iced tea hinges on the tea variety, brewing methods, and infusion duration. for example, an 8-ounce serving can range from a modest 15 milligrams to a more robust 70 milligrams of caffeine.
what about marna - how much caffeine is in your iced tea?

why cold brewing makes a difference
cold brew, by its nature, offers a gentler extraction process, drawing out fewer caffeine molecules from the tea leaves over a prolonged steeping period in cold water. this method not only results in lower caffeine levels but also imparts a smoother, more mellow flavour profile, which is the hallmark of iced tea.
