Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of green tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 22 to 29 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntioxidant Content:\u003c\/b\u003e High - When consuming matcha you actually consume all the tea leaves.
