Abstract
Six varieties of tea produced by various industries, consumed mostly, were investigated for the quality and quantity of caffeine by Ultra Violet-Spectrophotometer (UV-S). The objective of study was to know that whether the caffeine in boozed tea of green and black leaves are low or high. Further they were correlated for their quantitative analysis. Extraction provided colorless needles of caffeine characterized by IR Spectroscopy. The obtained results of UV-S provided the samples named as A, B, C and a, b, c caffeine concentrations indicated the secure range set by food and drug administration (FDA) except for the black sample C which carried greater level of caffeine.
