How much caffeine is in Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun Green Tea?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 30 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 Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun 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 Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun 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 Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun 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 Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun Green Tea?

Caffeine and serving strength vary with dose, preparation, and individual sensitivity. 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 30 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 12.5 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.
