Straight answers
Tea Brewing Guide FAQ
Why must green tea not get boiling water?
High heat extracts catechins and tannins too fast — that is the bitterness people wrongly blame on green tea itself. At 70–80°C the same leaf goes sweet and soft; the guide’s single biggest fix.
How much caffeine versus coffee?
Typical cups: black tea 40–70mg, green 25–45, filter coffee ~95. Steep time and leaf amount swing tea widely — the Caffeine Calculator next door totals a whole day honestly.
