Well, let me tell you, this whole thing about English black tea and that caffeine stuff, it’s got folks talking. Does English black tea have caffeine? You bet your bottom dollar it does! Just like that Camellia sinensis plant, that’s where the tea comes from, you know. It’s got that caffeine kick, just like coffee, but not as much, not as much.

Now, some folks, they worry about that caffeine. They say, “Oh, I can’t have too much, it’ll keep me up all night.” Well, maybe, maybe not. Depends on how much you drink, I reckon. See, this English breakfast tea, it’s got some caffeine, sure, but not like a whole pot of coffee. It’s more like a little nudge, not a big shove.

They say, in general, this black tea, it’s got more of that caffeine than that green tea or that white tea. Green tea, they say, it only got about 20 to 45 of them caffeine things. And Earl Grey, that fancy tea, 40 to 60 maybe. This English tea though, it can go higher, up to 40 to 70, even more sometimes! That’s what I heard.

• English breakfast tea has caffeine.
• Black tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant.
• Green tea has less caffeine than black tea.
• Earl Grey has a bit more caffeine than green tea.
• Black tea has less caffeine than coffee.

Now, you take an 8-ounce cup, that’s a regular cup of tea. This English Breakfast Tea, it’s got about 42 of them caffeine milligrams. That’s a lot less than the 400 they say you shouldn’t go over in a day. So, you can have a few cups, no problem. They say this English breakfast tea is smooth like, and good any time of day. It has around 47 mg of caffeine, coffee has like 95. That’s what they say, anyways.

People always think coffee’s got more of that caffeine stuff than tea. But you know what? That ain’t always the truth. See, tea leaves, they actually got more caffeine than them coffee beans. But when you make coffee, it’s stronger, see? So it ends up with more caffeine in your cup.

If you’re one of them folks who gets all jittery from caffeine, maybe this tea will keep you up. I don’t know. But they got that other kind, that decaf tea. Or that herbal tea, that’s got no caffeine at all. That’s good for sleepin’, that herbal tea.

So, this English black tea caffeine, it’s there, alright. But it ain’t gonna knock you off your feet like coffee might. It’s just a little somethin’ somethin’ to get you goin’. But if you drink a whole pot, well, you might be bouncin’ off the walls! Just like when I was a young’un and I ate too much sugar!

This English breakfast tea, it’s good stuff. Strong, you know? Not like that weak tea some folks drink. This one’s got some flavor, some kick. But that caffeine, it ain’t nothin’ to be scared of. Unless you’re scared of stayin’ up late, watchin’ the late show!

I remember one time, my neighbor, she drank a whole pot of this English breakfast tea. She said she needed to stay up and finish her quiltin’. Well, she was up all night alright, quiltin’ and talkin’ and talkin’ and quiltin’! Didn’t sleep a wink, she said. So, yeah, that caffeine, it’ll do it to ya if you ain’t careful!

But for most folks, a cup or two of this English tea ain’t gonna hurt ya. It’s just a nice little pick-me-up. Like a little sunshine in your cup, that’s what it is. And it tastes good, too. Not like that bitter stuff some folks drink. This tea, it’s got a good, strong flavor. Just like I like it!

So don’t you worry about that caffeine in English breakfast tea. Just enjoy your cup of tea. And if you’re worried about sleepin’, well, just don’t drink it too late at night. Or get that decaf stuff. That’s what I do sometimes. When I want a cup of tea before bed, but I don’t wanna be up all night countin’ sheep!

Yep, this English breakfast tea, it’s a good thing. Just gotta know how to handle it, that’s all. Like most things in life, I reckon. You gotta know your limits. And if you don’t, well, you might just end up like my neighbor, quiltin’ all night long! And that ain’t no way to get a good night’s sleep, now is it?
