How much caffeine is in Ripe Pu-erh with Aged Tangerine Peel?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 38 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 Ripe Pu-erh with Aged Tangerine Peel?

Target 92°C (198°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Ripe Pu-erh with Aged Tangerine Peel be extracted?

Extract for 40 seconds, then adjust using Gaiwan / Gongfu, at a ratio of 25g/L (5g leaves to 200g water), prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Ripe Pu-erh with Aged Tangerine Peel 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 Ripe Pu-erh with Aged Tangerine Peel?

Caffeine and serving strength vary with dose, preparation, and individual sensitivity. Use individualized medical 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 38 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 15.8 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.
