Looking back to my teen years, I realized that some of my most irritable morning walks to catch a train to go to High School might have had a connection with having had a cup of tea at breakfast.
I can find very few online mentions of a tea -> anger connection.
Has anyone else heard of this?
Regular Tea can have more caffeine than coffee.......
You could be caffeine intolerant.....
Last I saw Britain wasn’t rioting from end to end so I’d bet that it’s not a common issue.
No, but I find this => “(Excerpt) Read more at” after one measly sentence to be at least mildly irritating.
I know that I can get pretty pissed off if I CAN’T get a cup of COFFEE in the morning.
But, tea? I have only known tea to have a calming, soothing effect on me and others I know. Then again, everyone’s body chemistry is different, so there might be something in tea that affects you.
But what would that be? Any FR chemists who would know?

Was it unsweetened tea? If not, maybe the sugar is what got you all ramped up.

Insufficient data for meaningful answer.
1. What kind of tea (peppermint tea; orange pekoe; darjeeling; Earl Grey; chamomile; etc.)?
2.With milk / cream / sugar / lemon?
3. Quantity
Etc.
Regards,
Was it true for various brands and types of tea?
The most common thread would seem be the caffeine, but obviously tea has it’s own botanical chemical profile, with higher tannic acid as one example.
If you have a mild allergy to some constituent compound, particularly if you consumed it frequently suppressing acute reactions, it wouldn’t surprise me that you’d experience an agitated mood.
Of course, tea also contains tannin. A quick Google of tannin reveals some varied effects of it. Some answers might be found there. Drink very little regular tea myself.
I found that green tea gives me some dizziness and an upset stomach. The effect lasts for several days. Regular tea, I drink on occasion. I go through about 10 ounces of leaves/year.
Makes me want to throw it all into the harbor!
Tea is very dangerous.
An Indian Chief was fond of drinking a lot of tea.
Once, after a great victory he drank more tea than he ever had before.
They found him dead the next morning - in his Indian tent.
Load up on tea and start a new Boston Tea Party.
I find that two aspirin and a cup of hot tea, double strength, help with shingles pain. In addition to caffeine, tea contains theanine, which has a calming effect on the nervous system. Nevertheless, for some people, these compounds may have a contrary, so-called paradoxical effect.
I don’t drink Tea because it tastes like Tea.
try decaf tea ! I love tea but caffeine is not my friend.
If I had to walk to a train just to go to high school I might be pi**ed off too. Don’t think tea is the problem here...
Check fine print on package It’s Not Tea maybe.
