I seem to have read somewhere that Yin Hao Jasmine tea has a lot more
caffeine than "regular" Jasmine tea. Is this true? I would like to try it,
but don't know if I should (still supposed to be staying away from
caffeine.) How much better a cup of tea would it likely make, than the
standard, low-end Jasmine I am getting from the local Chinese supermarket?

One more thing... Would the Yin Hao from someone like Stash be higher or
lower in caffeine than the Yin Hao that I also find at that same local
Chinese supermarket? I was once told that the cheaper coffees, made from
robusto, I think, are higher in caffeine than the better grade Arabica
coffees with similar flavor, so that is why I am asking. For all I know,
the lower grade teas may have more caffeine/less flavor.

Just wondering...

Thanks.

Jasmine comes in three tastes mediocre,good,great. Yin Hao #1 is on
top of the food chain. Most in stores is mediocre. A good jasmine is
the rarest. The differentiating factor is price. Assume all caffeine
levels in tea to be a constant. The saturation is a function of time
and temperature. For you PH enthusiasts Scottish breakfast is
specifically blended for their soft water. I know cheap teas that
taste great and expensive teas that taste bad. Bad is not a good word
because it simply your personal taste. CTC teas are known for their
kick simply because they infuse fast. I drink my share of robust
breakfast blends. A strong cup should make you feel the hairs on your
neck. I probably dilute any tea 3 to 1 because I do drink lot of tea
during the morning tapering off by mid afternoon. My local tea shoppe
gives you your money's worth of tea in a cup. So much so it is too
strong for me and I carry out and decant the tea sock before I get to
the car and using the leaves one more time after I get home. I'm not
that rich.

Thank you for the feedback. Will try a better grade, and consider whether I
am willing to spend enough for some of what is supposedly the best. And I
will look for a local tea shop.

Oh, what is CTC? I assume it is something TeaCo, but can't figure out the
C.

Thanks again,

Dave

Ahh. Thank you. I remember seeing that now. Can't believe I couldn't
figure it out.
