Higher tea intake showed similar results, while decaffeinated coffee did not โ€” suggesting that caffeine may be the active factor producing these neuroprotective results, though further research is needed to validate the responsible factors and mechanisms.

Decaf is pretty comparable to some kinds of tea in terms of caffeine content. I know when I make decaf it has way more caffeine than when I make black tea.
