My question can't be answered (to my knowledge and ability) on search engines that I have explored: How much caffeine in a TEA BAG not steeped in liquid but simply CONSUMED as is , the contents chugged with a glass of water? What would the half-life of this dose be?

I don't have a number from a manufacturer, but one of my favorite tea makers (Numi Organic Tea) advises that soaking their tea in hot water for less than a minute and discarding prior to brewing removes most of the caffeine content. So eating the bag should get you about the same as drinking it. |

Not sure why you'd want to eat tea. The benefits are extracted by hot water in the brewing process. Plus, the tea in the pre-bagged teas are usually pretty cruddy quality tea "dust" vs the real leaf tea from the tea shops. |
