Not sure - but I bought this ginger tea (obviously, dehydrated) the  
other day because I got into the habit of drinking coffee recently  
and wanted to wean myself off it.  The box says it is "safe" but  
recommends no more than 3 cups a day - maybe this is due to blood  
thinning properties?  Never realised ginger was especially potent, I  
use it more like a vegetable than a spice.
