No, but drinking large amounts may cause diarrhea (actually common for any drink with caffeine). Also, for those who frequent Chinese restaurants for dim sum, pu-erh tea is one of the teas often offered to customers. In Cantonese, it is pronounced "bo lay" and the name comes from the town in the province of Yunnan where it's been produced for over 1,700 years. The best pu-erh tea leaves can run you more than $10,000 USD/kg and actual wars have been fought over these specific tea leaves. It is considered by tea experts and collectors as the finest, oldest and purest tea available.
