Are there any side effects of Mei tea (vine tea)?

Mei tea (vine tea) is a type of tea, and whether it has side effects depends on the amount consumed. For example, normal consumption usually does not cause side effects, but long-term and excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort or symptoms of cold body constitution.

No

Mei tea is rich in flavonoids. Drinking it in normal, moderate amounts typically causes no side effects and can, to some extent, help soften blood vessels, lower blood lipid levels, delay aging, and disinfect or kill bacteria, thus benefiting overall health.

Yes

1. Gastrointestinal discomfort

Due to its relatively cold and cooling nature, long-term and excessive consumption of Mei tea can easily irritate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to gastrointestinal disturbances such as stomach pain, bloating, or diarrhea.

2. Cold body constitution

Continual intake of this cold-natured Mei tea may also cause an accumulation of internal coldness, potentially resulting in a cold body condition, especially in individuals with already weakened constitutions.
