I haven't seen this discussed in a while, so I thought I'd revive it
in case there is any new info out there (and because it's really been
affecting me lately). After drinking several infusions of Silver
Needle (Yin Zhen), I got a headache and some sinus pressure. This
pressure is similar to how I feel after drinking alcohol, so I assumed
it was due to dilated blood vessels and nasal/sinus tissues. Yesterday
I drank several infusions of Jade Flower (tea ball from Tao of Tea
that has a wonderful flavor, not just the novelty of the tea ball) and
got the same thing, including a headache near my temples which pretty
much ruined the rest of my day. I haven't noticed this with black
(fully oxidized) teas, and am in fact drinking several cups today to
verify this.
I don't know much about the chemistry of tea, but I presume these
headaches are caused by some component of tea which is chemically
altered or destroyed during oxidation.
Thanks!
Alan

P.S. I don't think it's the caffeine. I drink caffeinated soda all
day, and even take a 200 mg caffeine pill if I really need to stay
awake (no headache, just wide awake and a little jittery).

Alan,
I'm guessing this is related to "the nature of tea" in terms of

In Chinese herb medicine, everything has a nature of "cold" or "warm",
from all herbs, foods, to your body.
