However, there are some things to note when drinking tea. You should drink hot tea, because tea is cold and will produce phlegm. Caffeine in tea has the effect of stimulating the central nervous system to increase concentration and brain activity. Therefore, drinking tea in the evening can cause difficulty sleeping and insomnia. You should drink tea early in the morning to keep your mind alert and increase work and study efficiency, etc.

Avoid drinking tea immediately after eating because tannins can reduce the ability to absorb iron and nutrients in food.

People taking blood-thinning medication should not drink tea because tea contains vitamin K - which increases blood clotting.

In addition, people with nervous breakdown, insomnia, and high blood pressure should also limit tea consumption, because tea contains a lot of caffeine which stimulates the nerves, increases the burden on the heart, increases heart rate and increases blood pressure.

In addition, tannin in tea has the effect of stopping diarrhea, so people with constipation should limit its use.
