Removing 80% of the Caffine from your tea…

Yes, I can hear some of you already saying: “Why the hell would I want to do this?”. Well to some who love to enjoy tea but don’t want the caffine and don’t have caffine-free alternatives around, this is a great solution:
I found this on LifeHacker:
“Approximately 80% of the caffeine in tea is released during the first 30-seconds of steeping, therefore to remove most of the caffeine from any tea simply:1) Pour boiling water over the tea leaves
2) Allow the leaves to steep for 30 seconds
3) Pour out the brew, saving the steeped leaves
4) Re-steep the same leaves with more boiling water for the recommended steeping times.”
And personally I find tea (especially Organic Sencha Green) much better the 2nd time around so I end up saving my tea bags usually anyway.
