Does Taro Milk Tea Have Caffeine?

Does Taro Have Caffeine?

Does taro milk tea have caffeine? The short answer is yes, but how much does it contain? A little caffeine isn't going to cause any issues if you don't have major health problems. So the real question is how much caffeine is in Taro Milk Tea?

Caffeine is found naturally in tea, since the camellia sinensis plant (one of the main plants used to make all teas) has caffeine. If you drink tea, then you drink caffeine all the time. The side effect from caffeine, like the inability to get a good night's sleep, kicks in after consuming around 8 cups of Taro Tea a day.

Tea contains about half of the doses of caffeine that coffee beans have. It takes about 8 coffee beans to make a typical cup of coffee. 4 cups a coffee a day can possibly result in the inability to sleep.

Taro milk tea can be consumed in exchange for coffee to receive the same benefits; if you are using caffeine to stay up through those long nights.

 

To gain the same effects of a cup of coffee, an individual would have to consume 2 cups of Taro Milk Tea.

 

Caffeine has been consumed for years by many as a way to increase alertness and jumpstart their day.

 

Just like anything taken in large quantities in a short period of time, coffee drinks and taro drinks can cause restlessness; but you would have to drink taro milk tea all day long; which is highly unlikely.

How do I take Caffeine out of Taro Milk Tea?

If for some reason you don't want the caffeine in taro milk tea, then simply make the taro drink without tea. Since it is the tea that causes the caffeine, don't make your drink with tea. In another article I discussed the different ways to make taro milk tea. One of them was the quick and easy taro milk beverage.

All Bubble Tea drinks will have caffeine because of the tea in them no matter what flavor it is, including Milk Teas.

 

Another way to reduce the caffeine in tea is to steep the tea leaves used to make the flavor for 60 seconds, then dump the entire tea water and start over with the same leaves.

This will remove most of the caffeine from the tea leaves. However, the longer you steep the tea leaves, the more the caffeine will get extracted. So don't steep the tea for long periods of time.

A Taro smoothie, slush, or milkshake is normally made without tea, which makes them a caffeine free alternative.

You can make Taro Milk, milkshake, or smoothie by purchasing the taro flavoring listed below:
