Default Caffeine requirement?

Interesting comment inhttp://www.dilmahtea.com/web/faq.asp:

"... The human body requires a certain amount of caffeine and research
indicates that up to 10 - 12 cups of tea daily will not have any
detrimental effect on the body."

I'm curious as to how much caffeine people here require, and how much
they tolerate. I don't seem to require any, and can handle the
equivalent of about 10g dry leaf per day. That might make anywhere from
three strong mugs of EBT to a hundred gong-fu steeps.

I didn't need caffeine till I got myself hooked on coffee and coke.
Then I was drinking two to three cups a day of the stuff. Now I've
mainly switched over to tea- usually two cups of black in the morning
and one cup of green or something else after lunch. That seems to be
enough. By cup I mean about 8 ounces in a mug. Toci
