Abstract
'Guidelines for safe consumption of caffeine indicate that an intake of up to 400mg daily is safe for adults. Average tea consumption in the UK, at 2 to 3 servings daily, fits within this. Given the potential benefits of tea for health, consumption could rise to 8 servings daily and still be within safe limits'.
