That's right, it's the temperature of the tea that increases the risk of developing cancer, not the actual tea it self.

I live in America and love tea. I Heat My Water to about 366.333 Kelvin I then pour it over my tea leaves and let it soak for 3-4 minutes then filter them out I wait about 4-8 minutes for my tea to cool. It is about 302.444 Kelvin when I drink it. I let it cool more if I find it still discomforting. Also they do still make coffee hot here they just were required to post warning labels on hot coffee saying: Warning this contains hot liquids and may be hot!

so it is the temperature and not the natural ingredients in the tea leaves themselves?

@stonerguy19666 no green tea smallers the risk of getting cancer but when you already have it it speedens the growth up

[dragonheadofthewest]
