In recent days, Bawang Tea Lady has once become a "resident guest" on Weibo hot searches, and several brand-related topics have attracted attention and heated discussions from all walks of life.

The cause of this incident was a comment made by a user on the Zhihu platform on December 26. The user said,"Work pickups commonly used by the middle class nowadays, such as high-concentration caffeine drinks such as Chazi Overlord, are actually riding on the edge of quasi-drugs, but they firmly refuse to admit it."

Once this comment was published, it immediately caused panic among a large number of milk tea lovers. At the same time, the topic of "Bawang Chaji caffeine" quickly became a hot search. Many consumers who had purchased Bawang Chaji drinks successively shared their "feeling after drinking" on the Internet.

Some netizens reported that they had experienced symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, insomnia, palpitations and palpitations after drinking the tea drinks they sold were too high. However, others said that they had not experienced insomnia after drinking it, and believed that the physical discomfort symptoms that some customers experienced after trying should be caused by personal physical differences.

Moreover, they pointed out that Overlord Tea has clearly marked its caffeine content on the product sales interface and drink labels. People sensitive to caffeine can choose to purchase low-caffeine products to avoid discomfort after drinking it.

As public opinion rapidly fermented, Bawang Tea Lady responded at noon on the 26th that she "has noticed the rumors and false information against our company spread on the Internet" and said that the legal department has fully intervened and initiated legal procedures, and will take legal measures against such malicious activities that fabricate facts and damage the company's goodwill to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Shortly after the response was released, the relevant remarks that initially sparked heated discussions were immediately deleted, but the public's doubts about the Bawang Chaji drink did not disappear. So on the evening of the 26th, Overlord Tea Girl posted a long article on the official Weibo account in response to the controversy related to caffeine.

Changwen Zhongwang Tea Ji said that according to the existing public data and test results, the caffeine content of a cup of tea brewed with original leaves is calculated based on the same volume per 100ml, which is roughly equivalent to a cup of latte and lower than a cup of American coffee.

In addition, Bawang Tea Ji said,"Tea has never contained more than caffeine. Tea is rich in various active ingredients such as tea polyphenols and amino acids, as well as mineral elements such as potassium, manganese, magnesium, and zinc required by the human body, which together constitute the unique flavor and health value of tea. These substances do not exist in isolation, but work synergistically with caffeine to form a gentle and complex balance."

It is worth mentioning that due to the influence of online public opinion, Bawang Chaji's U.S. shares fell more than 15% on December 26, and its share price hit a new low since its listing in April this year. This information attracted the attention of many investors, and the topic of "Overlord Tea Lady fell sharply" hit the top of the hot search on the morning of December 27. It is reported that as of the close of business on December 26, the total market value of Bawang Tea Lady fell to US$2.18 billion, and the market value evaporated by more than US$200 million overnight.
