All teas contain caffeine. I haven't read anything in literature, but
I would think caffeine content for different tea types would depend on
tea strain grown and growing conditions. I read Chinese are
experimenting and developing naturally low-caffeine strains of tea
plants (then no decaffination process required). Whether anything
will come of that I don't know.
