How much caffeine is in Enshi Yulu Steamed Green Tea?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 26 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 Enshi Yulu Steamed Green Tea?

Target 80°C (176°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Enshi Yulu Steamed Green Tea be extracted?

Extract for 2:00-3:00 depending on leaf and style using Glass Teapot, at a ratio of 12g leaves per Liter of water, prepared at Whole Leaf or Powder. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Enshi Yulu Steamed Green 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 Enshi Yulu Steamed Green Tea?

Caffeine varies with leaf amount, water temperature, and infusion length. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 26 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 10.8 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.
