How much caffeine is in Fuding White Peony White Tea?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 25 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 Fuding White Peony White 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 Fuding White Peony White Tea be extracted?

Extract for 3 minutes using Porcelain Gaiwan or Glass Teapot, at a ratio of 4g per 240ml water, prepared at Unrolled Bud and Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Fuding White Peony White 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 Fuding White Peony White Tea?

Delicate leaves can be scalded by boiling water — brew below 85°C to preserve sweetness. Aged White Peony (older than 3 years) has different health and flavor profiles; check storage conditions. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 25 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 10.4 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.
