First try do drink decaff tea. It's good option to reduce your addiction. When your body will adjust to the lack of caffeine you can try some herbal teas like mint or green tea. Is much healthier alternative. You are not addicted to tea. You are addicted to caffeine that is why you have headache when you not drinking your usual amount of tea. Good luck with that.

bholebaba; You are right. Addiction to anything is bad. You say you are addicted to tea and you find it difficult to manage without it. I suggest you reduce the quantity you take every time. I know mostly they will give 100 ml tea only every time in the shops. But in your house when u take tea u will take more. avoid that. take less than 100 ml. then it should go well. Do not worry about it. If u take coffee instead of tea that is also caffeine content. not good.
I know most of the time u will be busy with your business and as a routine habit u take tea. but take only less quantity ok.

I drink 2 cups of tea a day. Not more than that. But if i do not have it at that same time i do feel a little weird. I guess tea has that effect. Maybe you should reduce the number of cups you drink in a day. Once your reduce you will get used to that routine and it will probably be better for your health too.

Wow, 5 to 6 cups is a lot, man. I am also addicted to tea but I don't take as much as you. Sometimes 1 cup a day is enough for me and sometimes I can even go without it for one day but then I would feel very sleepy and tired if I don't have it. Tea has more caffeine than coffee and it can make us very active.
You've got so many great suggestions by myLotters and I hope that it would help you. Good luck, my friend!

i think theres nothing wrong if you only consume 5-6 cups of tea a day, but maybe if you exceed than that then maybe there is the time when you need to starts to worry about tea addiction, and i think no better cure in addiction than make yourself busy and happy on what you did so that you'll forget about the tea.

Hi Bholebaba and all here ! I face the same problem . I only take tea twice a day but if I miss the time of taking my sip I get headaches .I have to compensate it anyways . I have tried many options but all in vain. I agree switching to green tea helps but when I am outside I have to take normal tea . Coffee doesn't suit me so tea remains the only option . No other drink helps to get rid of my headache . So I have decided to compromise with it . But as a friend I would suggest you to reduce the number of cups you take . Good luck !

Drink water that would be the best replacement.
Tea and other colored drink with too much in-take will always do us harm
So,why not drink a lot of water than any other drink,it will surely nourish our body and also washed out toxins.
have a good day

I agree with the people here suggesting green tea. Tea itself isn't bad and green tea is very healthy but it does sound like you are having too much caffeine. The easiest way I think is to substitute some of your regular tea with green tea instead, maybe half the time you drink green tea or decaf herbal tea instead. Over time you will develop a taste for different types of tea that are healthier.

I also love tea and I drink more than 6 glass of tea a day. i drink green tea and blueberry tea. I think it is not that bad. I dont know the effects of black tea, but I know the good effects of green tea. Aside from keeping you in shape, it has good effect on skin and metabolism. Tea is a form of liquid and our body needs liquid for the day, I think its not that harmful. My husband also loves tea and we roam around the house with a glass of tea all day, I don't think its addiction, I think its a healthy habit.
