The six trials, which mostly involved males, confirmed that tea performed in a similar way to plain water up to intakes of six servings daily. Guidelines for safe consumption of caffeine indicate that a caffeine intake of up to 400mg daily (200mg for a single serving) is safe for adults. Average tea consumption in the UK, at two to three servings daily, fits within this.
