Yorkshire Tea caffeine: how much is in a mug?
Yorkshire Tea caffeine: the short answer
Yorkshire Tea Original and Gold are caffeinated black teas. Taylors does not publish a fixed laboratory-tested milligram figure per mug on its current product pages, and bag dose, mug size and brew time change the result. For practical planning, the NHS uses 75mg for a mug of tea. Yorkshire Decaf and Bedtime Brew both use decaffeinated black tea, so treat them as low-caffeine rather than zero.
| Yorkshire tea | What it is | Practical caffeine answer | Product source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkshire Tea Original | Caffeinated black tea | About 75mg per normal mug as an NHS planning figure; this is not a Yorkshire-specific laboratory result. | Taylors product page |
| Yorkshire Gold | Caffeinated black tea | Use the same 75mg planning figure. Taylors identifies Assam, Kenya and Rwanda in the blend but does not publish evidence that Gold contains more caffeine than Original. | Taylors product page |
| Yorkshire Tea Decaf | Decaffeinated black tea | Low caffeine, not guaranteed zero. Taylors describes caffeine removal but does not publish a per-mug milligram result. | Taylors product page |
| Yorkshire Bedtime Brew | Decaffeinated black tea with herbs and spices | Low caffeine, not naturally caffeine-free. Taylors says Bedtime Brew starts with Yorkshire Tea Decaf, then adds herbs and spices. | Taylors product page |

Common questions
How much caffeine is in a cup of Yorkshire Tea?
Taylors does not publish a fixed Yorkshire-specific milligram result on its current product page. For practical planning, use the NHS estimate of about 75mg for a mug of tea, then allow for mug size, bag dose and brew time.
How much caffeine is in Yorkshire Gold?
Yorkshire Gold is caffeinated black tea. Use the same NHS planning figure of about 75mg per mug. Taylors names Assam, Kenya and Rwanda in the blend but does not publish a per-mug result or evidence that Gold is higher in caffeine than Original.
How much caffeine is in Yorkshire Decaf?
It is low-caffeine rather than guaranteed caffeine-free. Taylors says it gently removes caffeine from a black-tea blend but does not publish an exact milligram result per mug.
Is Yorkshire Bedtime Brew caffeine-free?
Do not treat it as naturally caffeine-free. Taylors says Bedtime Brew starts with Yorkshire Tea Decaf and adds herbs and spices, so it is a decaffeinated black-tea drink with potentially trace caffeine.
Does Yorkshire Tea have more caffeine than coffee?
Using NHS planning figures, a mug of tea is about 75mg, instant coffee about 100mg and filter coffee about 140mg. The actual amount varies with the drink size, dose and preparation.
What changes the caffeine in my mug?
The amount of tea, water volume, water temperature and brew time all matter. A larger mug, extra bag or longer brew can produce more caffeine than a smaller, shorter one-bag brew.
Will Yorkshire Tea keep me awake?
It can if you are sensitive to caffeine or drink it late. Choose Decaf or Bedtime Brew when you want a lower-caffeine Yorkshire option, but do not assume either is guaranteed zero.
