In this project, we will be extracting caffeine from tea. This will be done using Büchner filtration, Solvent extraction and Distillation using a rotary evaporator. Solvent extraction is based on the rule of thumb "like dissolves like", which means that in general, materials tend to dissolve better in solvents of a similar nature. The distillation is based on the concept of different boiling points of different liquids in the solution.
