I have a Partial Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency. It is a primary immunodeficiency. I cannot drink tea, and green tea is the wqrst for me since catechins (primarily EGCG) inhibits the PNP enzyme[1] as do quite a few other "healthy" foods like curcumin.

It is best to know yourself and if tea makes you feel worse it might not be good for you.
