What is purple tea? It is a special type of tea cultivar, from China and developed in Kenya, that is rich in purple and red anthocyanins, filled with antioxidants which are also found in purple foods, such as blueberries, blackberries and acai.

Caffeine may be the most misunderstood molecule that we regularly consume. It is both adored and vilified, is extremely addictive, is consumed by over 90% of Americans every day, and studies have shown it can have an enormous range of effects.

This post covers what caffeine is, how it works, how to adjust caffeine levels in your tea, how much caffeine is actually in coffee and tea, and what caffeine levels are in different types of teas and tisanes (like yerba mate).
