Chinese tea contains quite a lot of caffeine.
However, there are many health benefits of drinking Chinese tea (not green tea).
So, is it safe to drink a cup everyday?

Definately safe. The tea council recommends up to six cups a day for the caffeine content.
But there are some side effects you need to be aware of.
Green tea is powerful stuff. The Chinese have been drinking green tea for more than 2,000 year. But until A.D. 600, green tea was used mainly as a medicinal tonic, not an everyday beverage.
Like any other herbal medicine, green tea's healing power has to be carefully harnessed. There are times when we should avoid drinking green tea. Fortunately, the rules are simple to follow.
The link below list ten situations where green tea side effects apply. Exercise caution if you find yourself in one of the category.

I tried the green tea you are talking about to lose weight. I drink about three hot cups a day when I have it on hand an it never caused me problems. The taste is the only problem I have with it though. Sort of tastes like grass or something. The only thing that really causes me to lose weight however, is not the tea, but small meager portions. I hate drinking water too, but frankly it works better than the tea I think.

Usually it is ok to drink a cup of tea everyday. But this is not suitable for everyone. People with several diseases better not drink tea. Like heart desease, stomach trouble,insomnia and something else I can't remember. Pregnant woman also should not drink tea. You can ask on http://ask.jongo.com/ they answer any question related to China. I think you can find specific answers there.
And tea should not be drunk with alcohol or after it.
That's all I know.

If it's the tea that makes you poop, then I don't think so. I drink it every night before bed. I never realized it had caffeine though.
