they say you can decaffienate black tea by steeping the leaves for 30 seconds in boiling water
do you think if i do that the theanine will stay?
im trying to get theanine from black tea without having a caffiene overdose, because i need like 400mg theanine but each black tea bag contains 25mg theanine 50mg caffiene, and i dont want to overdose on caffiene

idk if the process for decaffienating the tea will also remove the theanine, or i can steep it afterwards for the theanine. i could buy the powder but this is something i could do right now because the process is so simple

Just get theanine powder or pills, it takes 600mg for me to feel any sort of relaxation and there's only like 20mg theanine per cup of black tea, plus caffeine and theanine are synergistic so might as well just drink the tea as is
