Does Green Tea Contain Caffeine?

Just like black, white and Oolong tea, green tea contains naturally occurring caffeine. Although the levels of caffeine in green tea are slightly lower than you’d expect to find in black tea, and considerably less than in a cup of coffee.

Twinings green tea contains around 30-40mg of caffeine per cup, based on 200ml of water being used. As with any tea, there are so many differences in how and where it is grown, how it’s treated and even how it’s brewed, it’s difficult to give an exact number. The maximum safe daily caffeine intake is 400mg for most healthy adults.
