Can drinking black tea or any type of tea giving you headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Too much caffeine can clearly cause headaches in some individuals. More common perhaps is a caffeine abstinence headache. Teas have less caffeine than coffee but still it is there so I am confident it is likely the caffeine and not other components of the tea that likely is the culprit.
