I've never experienced "caffeine withdrawal" with tea. I have noticed recently however that when I drink coffee, a little while later I often feel a strong sense of melancholy. This has become much more noticeable since I began drinking large amounts of tea, and I have spoken to someone else who has had a similar experience. Needless to say I have had very little coffee as of late.

Re: Caffeine withdrawal is no joke
Caffeine withdrawal has never given me headaches. I get horrible headaches no matter what I do and always have (even as a kid when I wasn't even allowed to have caffeine).
It's weird. All the things caffeine is supposed to do to people, it doesn't do it to me. I can consume a ton of caffeine and go right to sleep. It does make me a bit jittery sometimes (especially in coffee).

When I was drinking 5-6 cups of coffee daily, and I quit one week. I got some of the worst headaches i've had in my life.

Re: Caffeine withdrawal is no joke
Same here. I can soak every last one of my organs with caffeine then go right to sleep, and if I miss drinking tea for a day, which is rare, I've never noticed any headaches or anything... Many years ago, and before I had taste, I used to choke down quite a bit of coffee, I stopped completely, almost without meaning to, and never noticed any effects, positive or negative.
Caffeine Immunity - I think it's my super power.
However, I do think the act of making/drinking tea in the morning helps me wake up. I'm almost positive it's some kind of a placebo effect.
I feel healthier drinking tea, though. Sometimes after a cup of coffee, I would feel pretty gnarley, with tea, that's never happened to me.
