Loaded tea is a type of beverage that is a combination of powdered herbal-tea extracts, a caffeine-packed sugar-free booster, and water. It is not a true tea product, but rather a blend of caffeine and herbal stimulants that contains most of the same ingredients in energy drinks. Loaded teas are marketed as nutritional supplements and are sold as a way to speed up metabolism, burn fat, lose weight, increase energy, enhance performance, and boost the immune system. They are visually appealing beverages with clever names that attract young consumers and have gained popularity thanks to flashy marketing by nutrition shops. However, loaded teas can be dangerous, especially for children and adolescents, due to the high caffeine content, which can cause adverse effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Loaded teas are not recommended for daily consumption, and if you do opt to drink loaded tea, limit your consumption to one serving a day, and preferably not after lunchtime
