Talk:Decaffeination

Green Tea Talk

Decaffeination is the act of removing caffeine from coffee beans.

Then what about decaffeinated green tea? Are any or all of the same processes applicable to tea leaves? --LostLeviathan 22:48, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

As far as I know there is no such thing as decaffeinated green tea. Green tea is naturally very low in caffeine. --Zenyu 06:10, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Decaffeinated green tea does exist . Other types of tea can also be decaffeinated . --ErikStewart 19:27, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Decaffeinated Tea

There are some weasel words:

    A generally accepted statistic...

Restructuring to remove duplicated sections

I've restructured the article a little, specifically the section about decaffeination of coffee, to avoid the duplication of the information included in the history section and then the section about the specific processes, and bringing it all under a larger heading, with more subheadings.

It may be worth adding more information about the line "Noted food engineer Torunn Atteraas Garin also developed a process to remove caffeine from coffee." and perhaps it should not be beneath the Swiss water process heading, but I've left it for now.

Some of the information that is included on the Catalan-language version of the article could also be worth translating and integrating into this article. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descafe%C3%AFnament

Confusing line about "red" tea

I'm unclear what this parenthetical about "red" tea is doing here, or if this is an uncommon term to refer to a type of Camellia sinensis tea:

A generally accepted statistic is that a cup of normal black (or red) tea contains 40–50 mg of caffeine, roughly half the content of a cup of coffee.

Typically "red" tea would mean rooibos, which is an uncaffeinated herbal tea that is not made from the camellia sinensis plant. Or is there a type of "red" tea that refers to a camellia sinensis (i.e. caffeinated) tea? Cultstudmugged (talk) 16:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
