Hi @jamesle2015,
That sounds like a nasty expererience. Definitely, not how you want to feel after drinking a cup of tea! Not wanting to oversell myself, but have you considered switchining to Chamomile ;)? Sorry, jks!
To answer your question, it doesnt have too much caffeine in it, too my knowledge. It is possible that you were alergic to some ingredient in the tea. But I wonder what else might have been going on for you before the anxiety attack? Sometimes low grade anxiety can hum away in the background and then suddenly escalate, seemingly without reason.
@Former-Member started a great thread about anxiety some time back...

I want to get some opinions on the following - not related to drinking tea 🙂
Person A is over 35 years of age, married and has a child about 9 months old. He lives about 20 minutes drive from his Mother - who is independent and retired. Person A complains to Mother that the child makes too much noise and it is hard to concentrate. Person A keeps visiting Mother every few days
to do work - for a few hours in the afternoon - so Mother's house is like another office where Person A
can make business calls. Mother's house has one other individual adult living with her.
Person A had been a troublemaker and caused Mother a lot of stress as Person A is that type of
person who socialises with strange and dodgy people.
What do you think of Person A? Is this sort of thing acceptable?
Opinions please.....
