It might be the caffeine that causes it, and in that case, then too much tea is not good too. I drink mugs of tea and I was fine after two of them yesterday, but then I had a third one about an hour later and I felt the caffeine, which I didn't like. I was surprised as it's rare for me to notice the caffeine because the very light teas I drink are low in it.
In the early afternoon I had two cups of green tea and I felt fine. Mid afternoon onwards I always drink decaf green tea or redbush tea (rooibos) and one mug of cocoa. I might have to space the tea out a bit more in the morning, but two mugs of darjeeling, or sencha, on the trot is one of those small things in life which gives me enormous pleasure.
What's concerning is who drinks cups nowadays? In Britiain we all use mugs and my ones are the larger type.
Many of us enjoy a cup of coffee or two throughout the day, but a new study suggests that too much of the stuff could shrink brain volume and increase the risk of dementia over the long term.
The excess coffee risks can jump quite sharply, though you do need to be drinking a lot of the beverage: The study found that people drinking six or more cups a day had a 53 percent higher chance of getting dementia than those who drank one or two cups or less.

How do you keep from spilling it while you run?

It might be a British term -
ON THE TROT | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary
5 days ago — on the trot ... If you do things on the trot, you do them directly after each other without pausing
K, London's water is 3 times as hard as Montreal's. Do you filter your water when you make tea/coffee? It's not dangerous or anything, how hard water is, but it will affect the taste of your beverage in a bad way. When the water is too hard, you get a scummy formation (the calcium) floating on top of your tea :(
Btw, optimum steep for most teas is 5 mins. :)
Anyways, I am on a coffee quest -- no more stale/bland coffee for me. Soon as I learn about the science of making coffee -- how to roast, the different types of green coffee bees, the degassing process, the storage, etc., I'll give it a go. Great videos on youtube by coffee chemists (yes, there is such a thing).
"Many of us enjoy a cup of coffee or two throughout the day, but a new study suggests that too much of the stuff could shrink brain volume and increase the risk of dementia over the long term."
Any mention of testicle shrinkage? That's where I draw the line.
coffee beans, not coffee bees. dd
