Well, let me tell ya, this white tea thing, it ain’t like what some folks say. They go around whisperin’ it’s got no caffeine, like it’s some kinda magic water or somethin’. But that ain’t the truth, not one bit.

See, white tea, it’s still tea, ain’t it? And tea, well, most of it’s got that caffeine stuff in it. It’s like them apples, some are sweet, some are sour, but they’re all apples. Same with tea, some’s got more caffeine, some’s got less, but it’s there.

Now, how much of that caffeine stuff is in there? That’s a whole ‘nother story. It ain’t the same for every cup, ya know? It depends on what kind of tea leaves they use, how long they let it sit in the hot water, and how hot that water is. Kinda like makin’ soup, the longer it boils, the stronger it gets.

I heard tell that a regular cup, ya know, the kind you hold in your hand, that’s got anywhere from a little bit to a fair amount of caffeine. Like, they say 6 to 55 milligrams or somethin’. But don’t hold me to it, I ain’t no scientist. It’s just what I heard.

• And let me tell ya, too much of that caffeine, it ain’t good for ya. Makes you all jittery and restless, like a hen in a fox den. Can’t sleep, can’t sit still. Not a good feelin’, lemme tell ya.
• But a little bit, it ain’t so bad. Wakes you up a bit, makes you feel a little more lively. Like a good cup of coffee, but not so strong.

They say white tea is different from that black and green tea, though. Them black and green ones, they got a strong taste, like a kick in the pants. But white tea, it’s more delicate, like a whisper. Still got that caffeine, though, don’t forget that.

It’s kinda like how they say it wakes up your brain, but not in a crazy way. More like a gentle nudge, not a shove. And it don’t get into your system as fast as that coffee stuff does. Takes its time, like a slow-cookin’ stew.

So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ with absolutely no caffeine, well, white tea ain’t it. You gotta go for them herbal teas, the ones made from flowers and weeds and such. Them’s the ones with no caffeine.

But if you don’t mind a little bit of a kick, and you like that light, delicate taste, then white tea might be just the thing for ya. Just don’t go drinkin’ a whole pot of it before bed, or you’ll be countin’ sheep all night long.

And remember, just because it tastes light and smells pretty, don’t mean it ain’t got no caffeine. It’s sneaky like that. So, be careful, and don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

Anyways, that’s all I gotta say about this white tea business. It ain’t no magic potion, just tea. And tea’s got caffeine. Simple as that.
