About 80 percent of the caffeine in tea is released within half a minute of steeping. So, if you steep for thirty seconds, then pour off the tea and re-steep the same leaves you’ll lesson the caffeine in your tea. This is a handy trick for that late evening cuppa or for those who don’t care for the taste of decaf teabags.
This teapot was a birthday gift from a girlfriend a few years ago. It is marked Victoriana and Made in England. My collection includes several blue and white teapots. I’m a big fan of blue and white china, especially paired with pale yellow.
I think it is a great idea for lessening caffeine, but on Teamail many say it isn't true. So I haven't know whether it was or not.
ReplyDeleteLove the teapot.
For late in the afternoon, when I am not wanting any extra boost of energy, I will be giving this trick a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
And I must say, all your teapots are so pretty! :)
Great teapot. I love blue and white and yellow also!
