Okay, this may seem a little silly, but does anyone else experience a sort of high when drinking tea? Whenever I seem to drink a cup, I often experience a sort of buzz that is unlike any other intoxication. I become more alert, my mood changes favorably, the world seems better, and the experience approaches the euphoric. It is a mild effect, but is quite noticeable. I know what you may be thinking: it's the caffeine. However, soft drinks have no effect and coffee is way too overpowering. Also, the effects show up regardless of the caffeine content of the tea. Anyone else experience this? Any idea of what causes this? Is it purely psychosomatic, a placebo?
