To much coffee?

I am drinking about 5-6 mugs of really strong coffee (a big heaped tea spoon) a day, do you think thats to much from a health point of view? I would really love to get into those herbal teas but i just cant find any that are as satisfying as a big mug of coffee.

Herbal teas are lovely if you find the right one, but I always find they smell better than they taste.
I never knew that, i stoped drinking tea with milk and took to coffee as i figured there cant be hardly any calories in black coffee.
Still at least i know my tummy is caused by coffee and not peanut butter on toast and maltesers, thats good to know :thumb:
Red Bull is the real loopy juice though. I see so many teenagers walking round with massive bottles of it, or Monster, or similar. It's no wonder they all act like they have ADHD.
I think herbal teas are shit, but I like english breakfast tea, earl grey, chamomile tea, and peppermint tea which all actually taste fairly decent.
I'm a 'hippy' tea drinker all the way, and have converted a few colleagues. Good ones to try are Strawberry & Mango, Blueberry & Apple, Cranberry & Orange or peppermint / the mint combos if you're not into fruit. Stay away from blackcurrant, it's naff.
It's also pretty key to make them with boiling water, and leave the bag in. Otherwise you don't get the same taste.
Or try swapping some for decaff.
Fruit teas need to be left to stew for a long time, far longer than with a black tea. I quite like Roobios tea, although that's one that you either love or hate (I love it, my wife thinks it tastes of sweaty feet).
Already had two cups this morning although i will be out for most of the day so wont have much today. I will try some fruit teas the Strawberry and Mango sounds delicous.
Glad Arctic Roll pointed out it was'nt helping my diet.
