^ If you have a weak stomach and poor digestion, DO NOT DRINK GREEN TEA or JASMINE TEA. You could feel slight pain in the stomach after drinking the tea even in moderate quantities. Oolong tea and Black tea is good for such kind of people. These envigorates the spleen where redundant red blood cells are destroyed, clear stomach heat and counteract alcohol toxins.
^ If you have an empty stomach/gastric problems, DO NOT DRINK GREEN TEA. This is because the acid in the tea can harm the stomach causing stomach aches, and in severe cases stomach flu.
^ tea is not good for pregnant women and toddlers because polyphenols in tea bind with iron making it harder for the body to absorb it. Cutting down on tea and coffee could improve iron levels in the body. This is important for young and pregnant women and toddlers who are most at risk of iron deficiency anemia.
^ 2-3 cups of tea a day should be the maximum depending on what type of tea one is drinking. This is because tea is diuretic, which increase the rate of urination. This in turn causes the body to lose minerals if a person passes urine too often. The "tannin", a polyphenol in tea can also reduce absorption of minerals.
BE AWARE, you have drunk more than you need when you feel uncomfortable in the stomach, or your sleep is disturbed. You could also have loose stools the day after drinking a lot of tea.
