Kidney Stones: Tea has high concentration of oxalate. Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of kidney stones and high oxalate intake can increase your risk. You can still enjoy tea as long as you do not have history of kidney stones and your limit your intake. How much is too much is difficult to answer as oxalate metabolism can vary among individuals. Moderation is the key.
