Too Much Green Tea

by Wayne

I drink 2 litres of bottled green tea daily. Is that too much?

Answer:

2 litres of tea is roughly equal to 8 to 10 normal size cups a day. This is not unusual for a seasoned tea drinker (their bodies have adjusted to it), and I myself do drink that much daily. So the number of cups are fine, but it is the quality of green tea that I have a concern.

Bottled green tea can contain a lot of chemicals and quite little nutrients. Drinking too much can also lead to too much caffeine and fluroide.

Have a read at the Healthiest Green Tea article, and also Shen's article on Green Tea Energy Drinks.

Drinking 2 litres is not a concern as long as you are drinking quality, such as a good loose tea.
