Thanks @chappertron! I would personally recommend you lower your intake a bit, not because of its caffeine content which is indeed probably removed by the brewing, but because drinking excess liquid, be it tea or simple water, basically overworks your kidneys, leading to a higher probability of suffering from renal failure and electrolyte imbalance. Also, while it may not have caffeine anymore, its sodium content may eventually cause kidney stones.

Hey there, thanks for the response.
10 Cups are approx. 2.5 L! Which amount of water would you recommend per day?
You may have heard that the recommended amount is 8 glasses of water, equivalent to 2 liters per day. However, truth is, not only is that amount slightly exaggerated in most cases, but everything you eat has a water content which counts for the daily water intake total.
While it's important to always stay hydrated, too much water can be harmful to the kidneys. Therefore, it's recommended to only drink water when thirsty, and it should be enough to stay hydrated. However, there's no problem if you drink some tea - or any other beverage - when you're not thirsty, just don't overdo it.
In short, if you lose a lot of liquid daily, say, if you're an athlete who sweats a lot, 2.5 lt may be a normal intake. But if you don't lose a lot of liquid, either via sweat or by constant peeing, that amount is a bit excessive, and I would recommend you to lower it by a liter or so, as to not overwork your kidneys.
