why didn't anyone tell me

[Anonymous No.5054430]

>>5054425

From my experience, that only happens occasionally and under fairly specific circumstances. I only get the jitter when I steep a batch of tea the third time and then too long.

[Anonymous No.5054436]

There's caffeine in tea, laddie.

[Anonymous No.5054439]

Happens to me at around 7-8 cups of green tea, 5 cups of black tea or 1 cup if it has white chrysanthemum in it for some reason.

Tea still has caffeine...

[Anonymous No.5054441]

you can build up a tolerance to caffeine.

i can take 2 caffeine (400mg) and be alright. my bowels will get angry and want to empty themselves entirely out, but i won't get jittery.

Chrysanthemum tea has no caffeine in it, though.

I do get the jitters from pu-er but no other tea (or coffee).

Is that Kirkland Signature / Ito En Sencha & Matcha blend tea?

just drink a lot of senna tea instead, it is delicious

>senna tea

I am 50 and what is this? Senna tea? How does it taste? Marlboro?

[Anonymous No.5055299]

>>5054632
I know. But for some reason the flowering tea balls with chrysanthemum in them leave me with shaking hands.

[Anonymous No.5055412]

>>5055299
I'm not quite sure if you mean what I'm thinking about, but flowering tea balls often have actual tea surrounding the flower itself, which would explain the jitters.

[Anonymous No.5055469]

>>5054425
nice cup you got there

[Anonymous No.5055472]

Drink some kava tea to counteract jittery

[Anonymous No.5055575]

>>5055412
Yeah I know. but I'm fine with regular teasband with other flowers/flavors. Just tat one makes me wired.

[Anonymous No.5055631]

How buzzed can you possibly be, OP? Black tea has less than half the amount of caffeine a cup of coffee does, and if your pic is anything to go by you're drinking green tea, which has even less.

Personally, I only use one teabag per day and just put new water in the cup, so it gets progressively watered down by the end of the day.

I boiled a pot of water and started drinking all morning, I dump the leaves out after every 4 steeps

what's wrong with tea

[Anonymous No.5057084]

>boil water
>drink tea all day
>unaffected as fuck

I suppose everyone reacts differently to caffeine but in my case most coffee and tea does nothing to me. It's a curse and a blessing.

[Anonymous No.5057117]

tea can be made of anything and has more flavor options

I want to get this Thermos tea cup from Japan. Keeps the tea juice hot.

[Anonymous No.5058561]

I remember when I drank two cups of coffee to "wake up" for a midterm. My eyeballs were vibrating left and right the whole day and I did horrible on my test. My mind was blank.

i call it Leaf Juice. Why not? carrots = carrot juice. Apples = apple juice.

Thinking about it, it's the proper terminology

[The name's Starrare New tripco(...) !e1/CBEyE1w No.5058618]

>>5058553

those are neat looking. at first glance I thought they were sippy cups based on the thumbnail. seems like they're not readily available in the US, and the ones on ebay appear to be $30 or more plus shipping. a steep price, you might say

[Anonymous No.5058637]

>>5058613
the leaves aren't being juiced, though. they are dried and then steeped in water.

it's an infusion, not a juice.

[The name's Starrare New tripco(...) !e1/CBEyE1w No.5058640]

>>5058613

you're not juicing the leaves though, you're steeping them, also if they're dried leaves there would be no juice to extract

it's a bit like arguing that soy milk should be called soy juice (although I'd say that's more correct than referring to tea as tea juice), when the point isn't necessarily to call it the absolute most factual accurate thing. "milk" is correctly used as a name for milk-like substances (soy milk, coconut milk, milk of magnesia, etc)

Add a bit of alcohol to your tea, to counteract the caffeine

I can drink tea, but one bag is enough for like 1,5 liters for me.

Do pharmacys sell pills that get rid of caffeine in tea?

[Anonymous No.5058739]

I used to get a headache in my head after drinking multiple cups of tea

[Anonymous No.5058766]

>>5058732
they'd be a sham of a pharmacy if they did, decaffination doesn't work that way.

[Anonymous No.5058768]

>>5058732
Caffeine doesn't work that way.

Drink herbal teas or something instead.

Guys, I have a caffeine intolerance, but I love tea.

I know caffeine-free tea still has trace amounts of caffeine, but do you think it's minimal enough to bypass my intolerance?

[Anonymous No.5058797]

>>5058795
Try some and find out.

[Anonymous No.5058799]

What the hell is caffeine intolerance? Can't you build tolerance?

White tea's fairly mild, as is green

It means if I drink too much caffeine, I get health problems. The problems can range from indigestion all the way to prostate infections.

I drink 2-3 French press pots of coffee a day, so I drink black tea all day instead when I'm trying to cut back on caffeine but I still need a buzz. Dat night shift, damnit.

Sounds like a nightmare. I thought I was bad for semi frequently having nearly a full week of being pretty much unable to concentrate on anything due to a spike in horniness.

There is other tea out there that doesn't have caffeine. Give Rooibos a try, or Chamomile.

if a cup of tea is a gallon of tea with 4 heaping tablespoons of leaves then yes I got jittery
