    I'd need a cup pot of tea and a chin scratch to figure that out.

    I never got into tea. I have a box of it for when people call over, but I've never had any of it. I feel I'm missing out going by you lot.

    If you take sugar you should watch your intake. I don't believe tea is harmful in itself. I drink copious quantities of it.

    What do people mean by 'too much tea'? I don't understand. :(

    One cup of coffee first thing in the morning, then a large mug of builders tea every 1hr - 90 minutes where possible, please.

    The best thing in the world for all your ills is a big pot of tea for one and a few slices of lightly browned toast and butter, it solves any problem.

    Barrys, btw. :)

    Like yourself I used to drink too much tea. I was constantly p***ING in work. I've as new job now so have cut it out. Have an espresso in the morning just. It's great I sleep better and p*** less.

    Not real craving it too much either

    Too much tea can cause iron deficiency. I drink up to 9 cups a day and my iron level is quite low.

    You should cut down to 8 cups

    You can never have too much tea.

    I have tea in the shower, followed by another cup at breakfast to wash down the porridge. Then i have another 7 or 8 mugs of it throughout the day. Then another cup of it if I wake during the night.

    I love tea.

    For the average person a lethal dose would be around 250 cups in a 24h period, depending on your weight and tolerance to caffeine.

    So if you're playing it safe I'd call it a day at 200 cups a day.

    Barrys is the best, Lyons second, and Twinings English Breakfast tea third.

    Tea has water, so water intoxication.

    That sounds like a lot OP. Is it herbal or 'regular' tea

    Pet pedantic peeve....

    Infusion. Both are infusions. 'Tea' is an infusion of tea leaves.

    Right. As ye were!

    Lyons is the only proper tea

    The Lyons / Barry's divide is unified only by a mutual hatred of those who add half a cup of milk :mad:

    I used to love my half cup of milk in my tea. Then I found out I'm allergic to dairy. Now I'm on the rice milk which isn't bad but not the same

    Verdict: it tastes awful.


    Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go boil my tongue.
