   I can’t find anywhere where you say if there is caffeine in this Chai Tea that I purchased. I put milk and honey in it and my grandkids tasted it and loved it so much, but now they want a cup and I can’t find anything that says it’s caffeinated!
   It doesn’t say decaf on the package and I’m searching but can’t find anything.

   Dee,

   Thanks for your question.

   The Spiced Chai Tea contains 86.4mg. of caffeine per 8fl. oz. serving; our Vanilla Chai Tea contains 23.5mg. of caffeine per 8fl. oz. serving.

   If our packaging does not indicate “decaffeinated” or “herb” tea, the product will contain caffeine.

   We do offer a Spiced Chai Decaffeinated Tea as well.

   Thanks for the note about the caffeine in Chai Tea. I am little confused though as your web site says something a little different for black tea… is there something different about your chai tea (i.e. it has more caffeine than other black teas). Here’s the web site reference: http://www.bigelowtea.com/help/faqdetail.cfm?faq=8 (it says black tea is 40-60).

   Thanks!

   At the time we responded to Dee’s question on the caffeine amount in the Chai Tea, the amount given was the result of caffeine testing at that time.

   Caffeine is a water soluble compound subject to fluctuations depending on a number of variables. Where the tea is grown, climate conditions during growth and harvest, along with other variables in handling, storage and preparation will affect the amount of caffeine released during brewing. The quantity tends to vary on a cup-to-cup basis, although it usually falls within a general range for each type of tea, although these variances are sometimes as much as 30 milligrams higher or lower than the typical range for each tea type. Given these fluctuations, we find ranges to be more suitable guidelines for determining caffeine quantities rather than providing a specific quantity per tea type.

   Thanks for your question!
