green tea

does anyone know if green tea has caffeine in it? and for that matter which,
if any, herbal teas have caffeine?
it's not off topic as DS can't tolerate the caffeine in my breastmilk.

Yes, green tea does have caffeine. I have seen decaf green tea, though.

I found a web page that lists caffeine content for vaious beverages:

Green and black do.

None that I know of. Herbal teas are not, strictly speaking, teas; it's a
misnomer. "Tea" refers specifically to an infusion of tea leaves. Herbal
teas are really herbal infusions.

FWIW, they pretty well always say on the front of the box if they're
caffeine-free; the only herbals I've ever seen with caffeine are herbal/tea
blends.
