Default Green Tea

Sometimes I will drink green tea - what I normally do is put maybe 2-3 tea bags in a cup and then just shot it down with some boling water - but nearly straight away afterwards i'll feel sick as anything i.e wanting to vomit, tired etc etc - really weird feeling...

Just wondering if anyone else feels like this after drinking or taking green tea?

Even when I have 1 bag mate it makes me sick.

I know its not the caffeine because I take pre-workouts, drink coffee etc etc

You have two options here I see:

1. Change brands
2. Change to white tea which is better in my opinion.

As for green tea extract, it may not be the safest option as there is a chance of it placing some undue stress on your pancreas. Drink tea the way it was meant to be drunk and that is not in extract form.

Also, green tea water should never be boiled but heated to a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius, whilst white tea's ideal water temp is best at 85. Boiling does damage the polyphenols and some of the other goodies that offset the harm caffeine may have on some individuals.
