Black teas have the lowest amounts. Green teas have more. Be careful with herbal teas, especially hibiscus which can have up to 800 iu Vitamin A in a cup.

Fresh ginger has zero vit A and it can be used to make tea. 1-2 thin slices, if poured over with hot water and steeped for 3-5 minutes (or longer, it gets spicier with time) makes wonderful tea.

I've been drinking a lot of White Tea and not noticed any affects from it. Only positive tbh.

I'm a little wary of drinking tea because of the oxalate content in it. I think it might interfere with detoxification.

In my experience, cheaper black tea has been fine (like what goes into iced tea at restaurants) as well as Earl Grey and English Breakfast. It seems the carotenoids are mostly dead and gone. White tea such as Baihao Yinzhen gives me quite a carotenoid reaction. Mucus membranes dry to a crisp, I feel very strange overall, and I have trouble sleeping. Matcha tea is an absolute nope; carotenoid city. Green tea in general gives me symptoms in line with retinoid trouble, particularly Japanese green teas like gyokuro. Perhaps there are important differences between the types of green (and white) tea leaves, their cultivation, and their processing.
