It does but it is in such a ludicriously small amount you won't even feel it

Unless you are drinking jugs of tea, there is no way the caffeine is going to effect you. The health benefits of tea FAR outweigh any religious objection to it.

Probably Morman as they don't drink caffeineHellsAngel2c

yh thts why i thougth it ws so weird i guess some churches have there own rules

She must be Mormon. My wife's family is Mormon (although my wife herself has never really practiced it apart from attending church a few times as a kid), and some of them don't drink tea (or anything with caffine).

Yea, it's probably the caffeine. My church used to be against caffeine however that wasn't a religious requirement, just a suggestion for healthier living. Most people just ignore it nowadays though.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind that? Obviously a ton of caffeine is bad for you, but it really doesn't hurt anything to have a little bit here and there...cell_dweller

I haven't heard of that either, and I personally couldn't go a day without tea

Yeah, she's probably Mormon. I knew a girl who said that she could drink sodas with caffeine, but no hot caffeine like in Coffee or Tea. Seems pretty ridiculous to me, but so do most of the other Mormon ideas.
