I don't remember caffeine having an effect on me when I was a kid. Admittedly, I was a hyperactive child, and a little caffeine in my system would have been like throwing a lit match into an incinerator.
The reason I bring this up is that I recently switched over to tea from coffee, and my tea of choice is Good Earth Original. When I was a wee nipper, growing up in Santa Rosa, CA, my parents used to take me to the Good Earth every once in while. My parents were crazy about the tea, but I always thought it tasted funny and wasn't nearly as interesting as juice or soda. Now, 17 years later, I know why my parents were so enamored with this tea. It tastes great, and it's so heavily caffinated that it almost makes my teeth chatter.
