I've also become ill after drinking several cups of green tea. I
don't drink much caffeine and blamed it on having a lot of caffeine in
a short period of time. A cup doesn't bother me, but several did.
(And this was at home, when I was NOT eating, and the same brand from
the same package that didn't make me sick after 1 did after 3.)
