Kinds of tea that make you sick?

42 Replies

I am not sure why but I used to be able to drink Pu Erh (sheng and shou) without any problem and then one day I drank one and got a terrible migraine. Now I cannot even smell Pu Erh without getting at least vertigo…or if I am really unlucky a migraine.

I miss Pu Erh :(

Black tea. Almost universally. Especially on an empty stomach. I’ll risk it to try something new every now and again, but never more than a cup. Makes me sad.

Green teas hurt my belly sometimes

Flavoured, fruity teas that aren’t cold.
I’m starting to get a hang of French Earl, but whenever I try the fruity teas on sample in T2 I feel like throwing up.

It’s not that they taste awful, they taste good really, but the sweetness and the fact that it’s warm makes me nauseous.

Harney & Sons’ Hot Cinnamon Spice make me feel quite ill. Too much cinnamon, I suppose. As I said in my tasting note, I don’t have a gallbladder anymore, so that may have contributed to sad tummy :(

Hmmm, I also no longer have a gallbladder and notice too much cinnamon makes for a sad tummy. Maybe we gallbladder-less folk cannot handle it?

Perhaps. I haven’t noticed sensitivity to any other spices/seasonings since my surgery, but maybe cinnamon is a special case.

Cinnamon and really hot peppers are the only spice I have noticed causing me problems. Hopefully no other ones will pop up.

This may sound odd, but Earl Grey tea and Jasmine tea tear up my stomach.

any tea with herbs, flavours, etc…Hate sweet or artificial flavours/ blends.

I can only drink tea pure, love love green tea , mostly sencha. In the afternoon/evening Ceylon or a good Darjeeling. Nothing else.
