Is it safe to have two 8oz cups of tea in a row? How much tea is too much?

[Still-alive]

I'm a new regular tea drinker now and wondering if having two cups of tea a day is still good for you? or how much is too much tea?

We got any Tea experts on GAG?

At work they started providing green tea and I would have three cups a day. About the same I started developing gastro problems. Then I stopped drinking green tea and the gastro problems stopped.

The thing was I never linked up the commencement of green tee with the gastro issues nor the cessation of green tea with the issues going away.

I had some food sensitivity with green tea. If it was a food allergy it would have been easy - I ate/drank x then an hour later I felt like y. Food sensitivities are more subtle.

You should be fine with as many cups you feel like drinking. Tea doesn't have as much caffeine as coffee.

Actually equal amounts of tea and coffee when we extracted the caffeine from yhemnon organic chemistry class found thst tea has more caffeine then ab equal quantity of coffee but the thing is you use way more coffee to make a cup of Java then you use tea to make a cup of tea do the caffeine in coffee tends to affect you more.

@LiamSawyer Interesting. Indeed you do use a lot more coffee than you do tea to make a cup.

Proly depends what tea. Some are way more caffenated than others. Some make u sleepy. Etc. Read the active ingredients or whatever where the important shit is. Try 1 first. And once u did ask, do I want to double this next time? Just pay attention to ur body response should be good enough gage in my xp

While it depends on the type of tea, and what time of day it is, you don’t want to be up all night b/c of the caffeine, but during the morning, or afternoon, two cups of tea are absolutely fine, and will not hurt you in any way.

It depends on the type of tea you're drinking and the time of the day. However, since it's only two cups a day, there's no problem.

A strong brewed cup of tea contains more caffeine (a heart drug analog) than coffee. I can easily drink two strong cups of black tea before bedtime and still have NO TROUBLE falling asleep, especially these days! LOL!

Not so in university, when I could be up all night by drinking coffee!

[LiamSawyer]

If it's straight green tea it's good for you, other tea like black tea with just milk isn't bad for you.

Tea (especially green tea) is healthy in any quantity. I know people that drink two liters per day.

[SnowedIn]

I'm not a tea expert but I often have three cups of coffee in a row and it's fine.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It can be yes. It all depends on how you react to caffeine too.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's good as long as it doesn't cause the jitters

[Pete671]

Yes imho that's fine, English guy here and we drink way more than that every day!

[Sparkie460]

My wife drinks 3 cups of tea a day and her doctor says it is fine

[llorando]

2 8oz coups in nothing, half a gallon is where it's at.

[Redstang88]

[Still-alive]

[Lucy68]

[DesiUwU]
