Caffeine concern is important as 80 to 85% of the world's population consumes caffeinated products daily.
DOSAGE:
The U.S.Department of Agriculture and the European Food Safety Authority explicates the daily intake of caffeine up to 400mg/day or 200mg / single dose which stimulates the body for athletic activities, alertness, and decreased laziness. But a dosage above 500mg a day raises concerns about the disorders mentioned above in this article like migraines, restlessness, and chronics.
The content of caffeine in teas depends upon its variety and blending process which gives the teas a characteristic flavor.
Black tea and espresso coffee have the highest caffeine content in comparison to herbal teas.
Your concern about caffeine content should drag you first towards white tea, herbal tea, and decaf coffee. Or else the suggested dosage of caffeine intake mentioned above must be followed.
