I also used to drink tea almost daily (although surely not as good as yours 😅), but after listening to a Huberman Podcast episode on dopamine I started to cut back on it :/.
Since you've been drinking it daily for so long, have you thought about how it affects your dopamine and such? Do you remember the name of the book you read about the health benefits?

Yes, this is the podcast: https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/controlling-your-dopamine-for-motivation-focus-and-satisfaction
He doesn't talk specifically about Tea, but he mentions caffeine in general. Although I've listened to it again and it seems like caffeine may be an exception to the problems he talks about with stimulants :D. But in general, he says to think about spiking dopamine too regularly for no reason because it causes it to deplete afterwards.
Thanks for the book, I'll check it out.
Do you have a link to the podcast that talked about tea? I'd be interested in listening. The boom I read was Live Long Enough To Live Forever by Ray Kurzweil
