Thank you for the video. I’m really glad I stumbled on it. My wife and I have been drinking different teas. I noticed green tea seems to cause constipation or digestive distress and we found that white tea is not supposed to cause constipation so what do you recommend for a tea? That’s good for digestive lots of lots of polyphenol, but will not cause constipation and also that has a lot of flavonoids too.
for polyphenols you can go for a sencha tea! By the way, we are offering a buy 2 get 1 free deal on loose leaf teas if you want to try some nioteas.com/collections/shop-our-japanese-loose-leaf-teas
FYI: Despite physically containing more caffeine, a white bud tea like Yin Zhen will extract much less caffeine to the water simply due to its thickness, compared to a white leaf tea like Bai Mu Dan which physically contains less caffeine but extracts much more caffeine (easier for the water to penetrate). Thus, Yin Zhen is a low caffeine tea and Bai Mu Dan is a higher caffeine tea if you go by what ends up in your cup. But of course one can choose how to look at it!
@@Nioteas Yes, it seems to be a super common (yet totally reasonable) misconception! For example, see Fig. 3 of this study: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6170294/ where caffeine content is compared between Yin Zhen and Bai Mu Dan. I'm not sure if the study explains any definite cause, but my unprofessional theory is that it's because it's harder for water to penetrate through thicker objects like buds. Because after all, you need water to extract it.
you're welcome! Also within green tea you have a few great options like Hojicha and genmaicha. Here is our lowest caffeine tea that I personally really like: nioteas.com/products/kuki-hojicha
You can try herbal infusions if you want zero caffeine, otherwise you can go for kukicha, hojicha, genmaicha and bancha which will be low caffeine. Our Genmaicha is on sale now: nioteas.com/products/genmaicha-hagiricha-170g
yes thank you for watching anyways. It's difficult to go low to high because some green teas are higher than some black teas etc. I wanted to tackle one category of tea at a time
why is this video so biased in favour of Japanese teas. It seems to offer more insight and more specific options on types of Japanese green teas but glosses over many of the other categories of teas and tea-alternatives. Might as well skip the non Japanese green tea types haha.
yes its a balance. Our specialty is Japanese green tea but as a larger tea account we feel the obligation to also touch on other types of teas. We don't want to spend too much time on them because it is not what we are most knowledgeable about

What about, teas that are labeled as decaf in supermarkets ?
If they still have some caffeine,
then how much ?

Very interesting! I actually didn't know that so Ill have to do some research and maybe make a video about it

I would like a chart with this information. Any suggestions on where to find?

You mentioned cold brewing extracts less caffeine. Does that mean it also extracts less of the green tea benefit also???
yes technically because Catechins (antioxidants) are harder to extract as well
Thanks dude! I want some peach tea without caffeine!

I am a tea fanatic ❤❤❤
I'm so glad to hear that!
this list seemed to go all over the place.
Wasn't necessarily low to high so it got confusing for me.
Thank you for the info.
