I’ve heard that Shuangxue Tea is harvested after snowfalls. Because it grows in the cold season, it supposedly contains no caffeine, making it a tea you can drink without worrying about staying awake. Is this true?
Does Shuangxue Tea Have Caffeine?
The answer is a definite yes: Shuangxue Tea does contain caffeine. Any natural tea product contains caffeine. While caffeine helps boost alertness, drinking too much can easily lead to insomnia. Especially if you have a slower caffeine metabolism, you should moderate your intake and choose the right time to drink it.
The good news is that the caffeine content in tea is affected by the temperature during its growing period—the higher the temperature, the higher the content. Since it grows in December and January when high-mountain temperatures are very low, Shuangxue Tea indeed has a lower caffeine content compared to summer, spring, or winter teas.
Is Shuangxue Tea a tea you can drink without worrying about sleeplessness?
That is not entirely correct; excessive caffeine can still easily cause insomnia. It’s best to moderate your intake or avoid drinking it within 4 hours of bedtime to prevent it from affecting your sleep.
