If you consume too much tannic acid, you will get a stomach ache. Especially if it's a particularly astringent tea that you are consuming- and some Japanese teas can be quite astringent.

The only time I have faced this issue is with green oolong. Even after a cup I get this nauseous feeling. Other than that - I think I am solid.
