'''Tea''' is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the ''Camellia sinensis'', an evergreen shrub native to Asia. The word "tea" generally implies the use of tea leaves (''Camellia sinensis''), but tea can be made out of many plants.

*'''[[Effect::Vasoconstriction]]''' and '''[[Vasodilation|Vasodilation]]''' - Whilst caffeine acts as a mild vasoconstrictor, its metabolite [[theobromine]] is a vasodilator and these effects are thought to cancel each other out.

*'''[[Effect::Increased blood pressure]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Increased heart rate]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Nausea]]''' - Moderate to extreme nausea has been reported to occur, typically at higher dosages.

*'''[[Effect::Stamina enhancement]]'''

|{{effects/cognitive|

The cognitive effects of caffeine can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. It contains a large number of typical [[stimulant]] cognitive effects. Although negative side effects are usually mild at low to moderate dosages, they become increasingly likely to manifest themselves with higher amounts or extended usage. This particularly holds true during the offset of the experience.

The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:

*'''[[Effect::Analysis enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria|Euphoria]]''' - This effect, when it occurs, is generally mild compared to the majority of psychoactive [[stimulants]].

*'''[[Effect::Focus enhancement]]''' - This component is most effective at low to moderate dosages as anything higher will usually impair concentration.

*'''[[Effect::Memory enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Motivation enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Thought acceleration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Wakefulness]]'''
