Male, English and allergic to tea (it's a nightmare living in England because everyone offers it you and it seems rude to refuse). Can't drink coffee either because of an intolerance to caffeine. Looks even ruder because when you refuse the tea, people offer the coffee.
I probably only have one or two hot drinks per year. Hot chocolate or Marmite for me.
Yeah, you can get it. I used to be able to drink bucket loads of caffeine but still not be able to stomach more than a teaspoon of tea. I think it was something other than caffeine that got me in tea. Tannins, maybe, because I'm not good with red wine, either.
I honestly don't know. I think most of our tea is grown in India and my impression is that it's all pretty natural. That's just an opinion, though. I have no facts at all to back that up.
I don't even have to drink the stuff, by the way. Just the smell of it turns my stomach. On the rare occasion I make a cup of tea for someone, that's the highest compliment I can pay them. That is *much* love. My mother, my grandmother, and a girl with nice hair. They're the only three recipients ever. :)
Do you drink coffee..?

intolerance to caffeine = allergic to tea
Tea has more caffeine than coffee.
You do get decaffeinated tea as well AFAIK.

Perhaps, you're allergic to the pesticides used on them?
