No, you cant have enough tea. But you can have too much coffee. Coffee should be banned. It is nasty.

Last time I checked I live in a country where freedom of speech is accepted. Before you try to muzzle someone, consider seriously whether you would want this done to you. You are not my supervisor nor are you an authority. ""’We’ all get it", as if you speak for everyone entirely in this forum. How arrogant and meaningless, cliche. It is simply your opinion, similar to forcing people to adopt certain languages in certain locales, or else(is democratic process). Point taken about the coffee. But as it is a destructive beverage and there is actual validity that coffee is linked to mental illness my thoughts are valid. Given that this is a forum and I am not blatantly using abusive language I am entitled to speak freely. I hate coffee because I have a personal experience of it and growing up in Seattle my view is a valid one designed to help protect others from this hideous beverage. Again, information designed to help others decide for themselves, as coffee is a legal beverage whether I hate it or not. Next time you decide you want to censor someone perhaps you should consider seriously whether you would enjoy being censored yourself. Given that I am adding value to this forum if I am harassed by ignorants such as yourself, Im not being paid to be here, I will simply move on. Most of the time as I have experienced in my life, most, not all, others benefit more from interacting with me than I do from them. Save your breathe next time please whoever you are(we must remain perfect strangers) unless you are going to say something intelligent or something mind numbing like the experience of waiting for a red light to turn and the driver in front to process that the red light is now green, due to legal ramifications I cannot simply steamroll the person with the lack of cerebral processing power in front of me, which in this case, would be you.

how cute ! a grumpy over sensitive little buddy so much use of big word and big text to prove how much more " intelligent " you are, keep at it maybe you will believe it someday. You much more sound like a member of a weird lobby against coffee or a zealot member of a sect that think the evil coffee lord want to conquer the world ! than someone who want to give information to help that probably come from your over aggresive tone but who am i to judge i believe in Cthulhu Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn ! oh and the flying spaghetti monster too. You are right on something thought we must stay perfect stranger pseudo intellectual make me laugh but tend to make really bad friend they only listen to themselves talk all the times. on that i return to the peaceful part of the forum so you and your hateful movement can continu whatever the porpose of your existence is supposed to be.

Well I don’t have that much time on me hands to drink too much tea. On my days off I get at least a gallon of various teas down.

I think too much tea happens when you run out of space to store it all.

Too much of anything can be a bad thing.

That being said, I drink 3 to 4 8 oz. steepings of the same hot tea during the day, as well as about 48 oz. of iced tea in a day. I tend to split the iced tea half with caffeine and half without.

I seem to be doing pretty well with it…

Every single blend they make?! That’s an accomplishment to be proud of!

Yes. Every blend they make. Its a bit sad. I know. Their oolong creme de la creme is actually quite amazing.

I try to vary it so I don’t have TOO much actual tea in the day… I drink my teas, but I also make sure to shake it up with herbals and rooibos daily. Because too much of ANYTHING, even healthy things, can turn around and be bad for you.
