How much caffeine is in Assam Golden Tips Black Tea?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 52 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for Assam Golden Tips Black Tea?

Target 95°C (203°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Assam Golden Tips Black Tea be extracted?

Extract for 3:00-4:00 using Teapot, at a ratio of 12g/L (3g leaves to 240g water), prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Assam Golden Tips Black Tea taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Assam Golden Tips Black Tea?

Contains caffeine and tannins. Milk and sugar change the final nutrition profile. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 52 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 21.7 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
