Hello Bluecura, great, I'm hoping you have as much success with the drinking of black tea as I am having. I usually drink 3 cups a day with 2 tea bags per cup. I drink this tea along with a small or moderate balanced meal. You can vary how much or how often you drink black tea its up to you. I take my tea with me in a canister or container and sip on it through out the day. I bring my own black tea bags with me to a restaurant and have the server bring me a cup of hot water. When my husband and I visit friends or relatives I bring my tea bags or already prepared black tea with me. As a result of doing this preventive measure, I can enjoy a meal and comfortably and confidently engage in conversation and laughter with them without "anxing" out or feeling like I'm filling the room up TMAU odors. Bluecura, keep me posted with your progress with the black tea. Take care :)
