it's probably an acid if you didn't eat anything before drinking tea. I have GERD so I always experience those symptoms, especially the nausea.

edit: eating sometimes fixes it btw. bc by eating, the extra acid in your stomach has something to dissolve if that makes sense

Go0ogling symptoms and deciding what's wrong with you is normally a mistake. So many health problems have overlapping symptoms so in general this isn't hugely helpful and could even make things worse by you taking action on the assumption that you're affected by something which you're not!

You are right actually, must have been something else in the teas. I had only had half an apple and the tea. After getting sick, I had the other half an apple and felt fine. So weird because the symptoms were exactly the caffeine overdose ones. Nausea headache lightheaded and vomit so was easy to assume
