Q 1: Then should I rush into tea every day when I am free?
A 1: Of course not, because drinking too much tea is not only easy to get yellow spots on your teeth, but also diuretic. Drinking too much tea in winter, be careful to run to the toilet often! Experts suggest that drinking an average of about 450cc of tea every day is about 2 cups of ordinary cups. Don't drink on an empty stomach if your stomach is bad.
