Matcha Tea and Caffeine - A Horror Story

I tried drinking Matcha tea for the first time last night. Put a heaping teaspoon in a cup and half of boiling water, stirred and began sipping it out of my coffee thermos.

The symptoms that onset were really uncomfortable. General scary neurological sensations but then it mostly manifested into waves of anxiety down through my body.

I relieved it some by pumping 10 pound dumb bells to burn off the energy, but the discomfort and anxiety kept comming.

It was definitly the Matcha tea, 1300 times stronger than I read in certain ingredient.

Think I'll stick to the grocery store brands.

Herbs are unregulated, so be careful people. Just a side note, the drug companies get a lot of their ingredients from herbal plants, so you are dealing with an open raw source of material and there is no way to tell the strength.
