Hmm, that's pretty interesting. Thanks for the pointer. I guess an entire

The idea that green and white teas have less caffeine than e.g. blacks
is a bit of folklore that no contrary evidence seems to kill, but
those with a taste for evidence might look at

As readers here have seen, there's a germ of truth in the folklore in

But if you do multiple steeps you're probably going to overcome those
limiting factors.
