Very little caffeine in tea half the amount so 2 teas equals one coffee , I think something else made you sick maybe the tea itself but I doubt the caffeine did it

You are right actually, must have been something else in the teas. I had only had half an apple and the tea. After getting sick, I had the other half an apple and felt fine. So weird because the symptoms were exactly the caffeine overdose ones. Nausea headache lightheaded and vomit so was easy to assume

It was probably the Tannins in the tea. On an empty stomach they make you feel pretty bad. I’ve been close to sickness from it before.

Tea on an empty stomache (or nearly empty) can make you feel bad for sure - it's a fairly well documented phenomenon that can pop up even on regular tea drinkers who don't experience it normally. It's like clockwork for me if I have black or green tea on an empty belly I feel almost drunk/delirious and nauseous.

If i have normal black tea or green tea without breakfast, i feel like I'm about to spew for good hour or so

Apples have caffeine too.

If a single red bull actually almost gave you a heart attack, you need to be careful.

Don't eat an apple have a coffee then eat some chocolate or you might just bust yourself up

Yep, not sure when the last time I heard it was but I see that it's been debunked.

It has something else in the skin that promotes wakefulness iirc. But yeah not caffeine.

Entirely depends on how sensitive they are to caffeine and what their normal intake is like.

Thank you! Other than the energizing tea I started taking last week I dont really have any other caffeine intake, will look into it!

When I was younger, I went off caffeine completely for awhile for some reason (I forget at the moment). One morning I woke up with an extreme headache and my sleepy mom suggested I take a couple of excedrine. Which I did without thinking. Went to high school. Started having heart palpitations, an anxiety attack, and fits of paranoia. It was fucked up and crazy!
