6 heaping teaspoons of tea per quart of water seems like a lot of tea.

It depends really on the infusion time.

Gong Fu brewing method has "worse" ratio but on purpose, a good oolong is marvelous. So is a good Pu'Er or green tea.

I guess they're making milk tea so it ends up being as strong as you want.
It depends on how much you want to sleep in the coming days..
You must be from USA. In Europe you give tea even to toddlers and they sleep just fine. You mistook tea for coffee lol (Americans...)
Coffee usually has about twice as much caffeine per cup as tea, but that depends a lot on the variety of tea and the brewing method/amount used.
Europeans have a tendency to not make the distinction between herbal infusion and tea... No one is giving tea to toddlers, well I hope not.
Americans in the last century advocated giving whiskey to teething infants.

Your pearls are adequately clutched, but I guarantee someone somewhere has given "the devil brew" to innocent babes.

That's still somewhat common, but it generally entails rubbing whiskey on the gums, not feeding the babies shots of liquor.
