Why Does Boba Give Me a Headache

Why do I get headaches when I drink boba?

But remember that drinking too much caffeine may lead to adverse effects like anxiety and headache. Apart from caffeine, boba tea contains simple carbohydrate sugar that the body breaks down and converts to energy. This means boba tea can provide temporary energy to keep you boosted all day.

Why does boba make me sick?

Tea, like wine, contains tannin, and consuming it, especially on an empty stomach, can lead you to feel nauseated. Why is tannin in tea to begin with? Tannin is known to kill bacteria, and it’s a naturally occurring compound in tea––and especially potent in black tea––that results in that bitter tang.
