I love tea. I love it so much I often wondered if I was addicted to it.
You do get to the point in a day though where you decide you’ve had enough. Visited relatives on Sunday and through politeness had one cuppa too many.
Not been able to drink tea since then. Tried decaf and although I drank it , it gave me a head ache.
A quick google finds that it is common during pregnancy , that probably rules me out.
Has this happened to anyone else?
How many cups did you drink?
After a purging bout of campylobacter I went both caffeine & alcohol free for 6 months, I just didn't fancy any.
tea's disgusting, I haven't been able to have any since teenage years. Smells like rotten bits of tree.
7-8 cups of tea a day here..
Probably had 6 cups throughout the day. Not a lot but I definitely didn’t enough the sixth cup.
Since I had the three week flu, I've been drinking it by the bucket load...well,more than coffee at least.
I usually have 5-6 mugs a day....couldn’t start my day without one!
Dried leaves in boiled water with milk squirted out of a cow? No thanks. I went off it in my teens and won't go near it any more.
Try some different teas
Never liked it myself but coffee is the shizzle , always thought that it was a bit odd like dirty warm water
that's a bad business. have ditched milk in my brew. 5s with the bag, done. cracking.

You could dissect the manufacturing process of just about anything, cheese, beer, bacon, spirits, but you'd look a right tool.
Aldi decaf here, can't notice the difference at all.
I sway between tea and coffee. Currently drinking coffee, not had a cuppa for several weeks, tastes horrible. Give it another few weeks and I'll have gone off coffee and be back on the tea boat. I think it has to do with the tides and gravitational effect of the moon. Maybe.
with milk squirted out of a cow?
Well you are clearly so ignorant and unsophisticated that you are unqualified to comment; milk in tea or coffee how laughably childish. 🙂
Sigh. No fans of Arthur Dent then? Still don't like tea though.
The key is not to give up anything. Gave up booze, now more than a couple makes me regret it. Gave up coffee for lent, when I tried coffee recently I can only manage one.
Currently riding my bikes as much as possible.

More likely caffeine-withdrawal and nothing to do with decaf, although methylene chloride is suspect, and a popular process.
I never 'went off' black tea, and still enjoy a mug here and there but I do prefer rooibos and have been drinking it for so long I can't quite remember when I made the change. Sometime in the mid nineties maybe.
Caffeine is overrated IME. Unless you wish to stay up/mentally active all-night long and so are exhausted the next day, so much so that you will require heaps of caffeine to get going and kick-start the process all over again 😎😉
Love tea, just started my fourth cup today!

I got the reference, if it's any consolation.
Still don’t like tea though.
Are you perhaps drinking something that's almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea?
Don’t they put all sorts into tea bags including small amounts of rat poison to space it out.
wouldn’t surprise me as tea these days tastes utter 💩
oh and don’t get me started on tgat Twinnings kak!
waitrose used to do a gold value teabag and they fir me were the best builders bags going.
I must have 10+ cups a day....
Twinings Earl Grey, black.

Ah yes, that well-known bulking agent, rat poison. If I were a manufacturer of tea bags, that'd be my first choice too.
Are you drinking the tea or smoking it?

Can't leave that there without a reference!

Careful now, https://mindhacks.com/2009/10/15/tea-intoxication/
A 44-year-old man presented in May, 2001, with muscle cramps. He had no medical history of note, but volunteered the fact that he had been drinking up to 4 L of black tea per day over the past 25 years. His preferred brand was GoldTeefix (Tekanne, Salzburg, Austria). Since this type of tea had given him occasional gastric pain, he changed to Earl Grey (Twinings & Company, London, UK), which he thought would be less harmful to his stomach. 1 week after the change, he noticed repeated muscle cramps for some seconds in his right foot. The longer he drank Earl Grey tea, the more intense the muscle cramps became. After 3 weeks, they also occurred in the left foot…
