green tea (sencha) does have caffeine. Usually a third to a half of what coffee has. Read this FAQ

    no, it actually doesn't contain ANY caffeine. what you read in that poor FAQ is a common way of talking "not too technical", because it's easier to understand when the only thing you wanna know is if you're gonna sleep tonight. Talking of theophilline or theobromine would only confuse things to the eyes of people looking for a simple, direct answer.
    However, the sense of my speech is just the same: i know there is no caffeine but it's not important "as a definition"; it is "as a concept", to state that there's "something that makes you stay awake". thanks for reply! bye SiG
