Drinking too much black tea can lead to side effects such as insomnia, increased heart rate, or upset stomach due to its caffeine content. Moderate consumption—2–3 cups a day—is generally safe.

10. How can I judge the quality of black tea?
  • Appearance: High-quality tea has tightly rolled, glossy leaves. Broken or dull leaves may indicate lower quality.
  • Aroma: Fresh black tea has a natural sweet, fruity, or floral aroma. Low-quality tea may have no scent or smell stale.
  • Liquor color: Good black tea produces a clear, bright reddish-brown liquor. Poor quality tea may appear dull or cloudy.
  • Taste: High-quality black tea is smooth and rich, with a lingering aftertaste. Low-quality tea might taste flat, bitter, or harsh.
