Can black tea be toxic if strong?

Too much of anything: Can be bad. But simply making a strong cup of tea is unlikely to cause any toxic reactions, unless you happen to be allergic to whatever the tea is made from (allergy to strawberries, strawberry containing tea, for example), or you are especially sensitive to a substance in the tea (caffeine, for instance).
