Besides caffeine, there's also theobromine.
FWIW, I did some reading of studies and it seems that kinds of tea vary too much in caffeine content for classifying by preparation method to be a meaningful indication of caffeine content, and there's some question about how l-theanine plays a role. It's probably better to say 'a cup of tea'.
The average difference between different cups of tea are probably greater than the differences between different kinds of black tea. I don't see how using a wider category is helpful for giving people an idea about how much caffeine a bar of chocolate happens to have.
A cup of black tea is an amount that the average person wouldn't drink right before bed. If you have a better metric for given people a meaningful idea about the amount of caffeine in chocolate feel free to suggest one.
And I don't see why you should make distinctions which don't make a difference, and engage in false precision.
And they would drink a cup of white tea, green tea, or oolong tea right before bed?
I already did: 'a cup of tea'.
There are various kind of herbal tea that don't have any coffeine in them and I do drink them before going to bed.
Yes, but people don't usually mean herbal teas or tisanes when they say 'tea'.
That depends very much on the people with whom you interact.
Caffeinated tea, then?
