One of the things I’ve learned from Michael Harney’s Guide to Tea
so far: tea buds are endowed with extra caffeine and polyphenols, to repel sun and bugs. As a result, white tea actually contains more caffeine than black tea and green tea, contrary to what you hear most of the time.
So this morning I decided to forego my usual cup of black tea and substitute it for a white: Teavana?s Silver Yin Zhen Pearls
