  It only takes about 30 seconds to reduce about 80% of the caffeine in a cup or pot of tea; and to do it, all you need is water heated at the proper temperature and loose tea.

  To get rid of most of the caffeine in tea, place the desired amount of loose tea in a cup or pot and pour in just enough properly heated water to cover the tea leaves. After 30 seconds, pour off all the liquid, but keep the wet tea leaves in the cup or pot. Immediately re-fill with more water and let the tea steep according to its type and your taste. After steeping pour the tea through a tea strainer and serve.

  Reducing the caffeine in tea does not diminish its flavor or health benefits. However if you are concerned about caffeine levels, remember that green tea has 25% of the caffeine of coffee; Oolong about 40% and black tea about 50%..
