Tea Has Caffeine in it???

I can't think of a particular time but I am sure I have. I am sure we all have those Duh I should have known that moments! tea actually has more caffiene per pound than coffee. But a pound of each is very different in bulk. That is why coffee has much more caffeine per cup than tea.

Oh Michele its ok. They do have decaf tea just like coffee. Alot of your herbal teas are decaf. Your baby was just fine I'm sure!

From everything I have been told Tea has more caffiene in than coffee does.Most of the drs.i have seen when i was pregnant they suggested than you not drink much tea because it also blocks your iron intake.

Unless you buy herbal tea that says "no caffeine", all tea has caffeine in it. It has less than coffee or soda, but it is still there. Don't feel bad, a lot of people don't realize that there is caffeine in tea because it is such a small amount. At least you didn't have a Jessica Simpson moment. Remember the "is it chicken or tuna" incident that she had on national tv? Now, that is a stupid moment. :) We all have those moments though, so don't feel like an idiot over them. I remember when I found out that tomatos and avocados were fruits and not veggies. I was stunned. I was in Mexico and they were selling avocado milk shakes and I was totally grossed out and then my father told me that avocados were fruits and lots of people treat them just like they do other fruits and make milkshakes out of them. Then he totally grossed me out and offerred to buy me an avocado milkshake. UGH!

Are you Jessica Simpson? SO KIDDING! ;) I do things like this SO often, ahh. It's hard to think of an example. I think I block them out after I feel foolish. lol!! Indeed I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer!

yes i know it has caeffien in it!! i knew it for a long time!!!

Well i dont really bother about the content of the Drinks until someone wrote a funny story about ingridents of a drink lol

Yes, they have some with out caffeine. You are not stupid it's just that you didn't know.

Well tea like the kind you buy in a store in a box with a lot of bags doesn't have caffenine but tea does have a natural energy ingredient. Now the bottles of tea are a lot different. I drink Sobe herbal teas and they have lots of caffeine and Gensing and other energy provoking herbs :D It really depends on what type of tea you want or what kind you are buying.

I knew that tea had caffeine in it, its a common fact. I drink tea when I cannot have coffee or soda, its a great way to stay awake.

Actually I don't think that is so obvious. Lots of people do not know that tea has caffeine in it. In actuality it has more than coffee does. I think we have all experienced the feeling of not knowing something that is obvious before. Bottom line however is that we can't know everything. cheers,

LOL. I think we all have experienced those 'DUH' moments. It's just that we can't know everything, so don't feel bad. You are definitely not the only one. Sometime People just look at me like 'do you have a brain?'.

No, it's not obvioius that tea has caffiene in it. Some teas don't. Some actually help you sleep, so I'm assuming those wouldn't have caffiene. I had to cut out the coffee when I got pregnant, (cause they tell you to) and because it made me jittery. I cut out the tea and cola and everything else. I went cold turkey so to speak off the caffiene and that was not easy. However, as far as tea goes, it has only a small amount of caffiene, compared to coffee. And, most resteraunts dilute down the tea they serve patrons, to save money. So, chances are the tea you were drinking wasn't even as strong as it could have been. People don't want to admit it, but moms to be have been drinking tea and coffee for generations while pregnant. Course, I'm not saying it's healthy. But it's done. And, I've never heard of any actual side effects. Though I am sure I will now! LOL! So, i'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

I don't drink tea, but I did know that it had caffeine in it. There are some things that people tell me that seem so obvious, but I never knew. Don't feel stupid. I'm sure it's happened to everyone.

I get the bad mom award then, cause I drink caffiene sometimes. In fact I'm drinking a coke as we speak. I figure its better than the moms that drink Mountian Dew, but not by much. However, its a once a month indulgence and my only vice, so I can hope it will be ok.
