What it measures
- Specific IgE to black tea — Shows whether your immune system has made antibodies that recognize black tea proteins.
- Total IgE — Measures the overall level of allergy-related antibodies in your blood, which can help interpret the specific result.
- Serum tryptase — A marker that can be elevated in some allergic reactions; it is not specific to black tea.
- Caffeine-specific IgE — Checks for a reaction to caffeine, which is present in black tea and other foods.
Preparation

Results and what they mean
