George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

Green tea is always an option ☕

@georgetakei Nope. I'm allergic to camellia sinensis so all tea is off the menu.

Herbals or tisanes don't always cut it.

@georgetakei I have a favorite Jasmine green tea pearl blend. Perfectly aromatic with a light pick me up that doesn't give me jitters.

@georgetakei

Have a pot of Ten Ren Jasmine Green on now.

@georgetakei doesn't it have about the same caffeine content as coffee?

@guigsy @georgetakei depends on the tea. Also depends on the water temperature and how long you steep it. With good tea, I may steep from 15 seconds to a minute, depending on the variety.
In all cases, less caffeine from tea than coffee, half or less.
