The isolation of caffeine from tea leaves presents the chemist with a major problem: caffeine does not occur alone in tea leaves, but is accompanied by other natural substances from which it must be separated. The major components of tea leaves are: 1-4 1. Cellulose - the major structural material of all plant cells.

The isolation of Caffeine from tea is a simple-seeming experiment, which in fact makes use of a number of rather advanced chemical processes. To isolate the Caffeine in a sample of tea, it is necessary to chemically separate the Caffeine from the rest of the tea prior to evaporation.

The general approach is to make the tea alkaline, extract with methylene chloride, and recover the caffeine and the solvent by distillation. We used to use a cheap brand of cola for the isolation, which we allowed to degas completely before using, since carbonic acid interferes with the extraction.
