Yes. Ceylon is a true black tea from the tea plant and naturally contains caffeine, also known as theine. How much ends up in your cup depends on your dosage and steeping time: the longer you let it steep, the more caffeine. If you are looking for a cup without caffeine, have a look at rooibos or herbal tea.

We advise about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup. Black tea may be brewed hotter than green tea, so use water that has just boiled. Let the leaves steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Take the filter out of your cup or pot afterwards, because with a longer steeping time this blend becomes strong and slightly astringent.

Count on about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup. So from this pack of 100 grams you get roughly 50 cups. If you make the tea stronger or use a whole pot, you end up with fewer cups.

Store this loose leaf tea dry, dark and well sealed, for example in the original bag or in a tea tin. Heat, light and moisture are the biggest enemies of loose leaf tea. Preferably do not put the tea next to strongly scented herbs or coffee, because tea leaves absorb odours easily. To brew it you need a tea strainer or filter bag.
