Tag: Too much tea

The FDA suggests healthy adults aim for no more than 400mg of caffeine daily, which is the equivalent of about 8 cups of black tea. But with factors like tannins, temperature, and individual sensitivity, finding the right limit requires more consideration. So, how many cups of hot tea is too much for your health?

According to the British Heart Foundation, a moderate intake of tea, around four or five cups a day, is generally considered safe for most people. However, drinking 12 cups of tea a day pushes well beyond this moderate limit and can lead to significant health complications, primarily due to excessive caffeine and high tannin and oxalate content.
