Greetings,
I developped a tea habit, i like to drink raw pu'erh, hongcha and oolongs.
I started drinking a lot about 3 months ago, i am male in early throtoes and consider myself to be healthy living on intermittent fasting, no dinner.

Yet when i drink a lot of tea i feel uncomfortable in the throat, like catching a cold. But i do not get sick, i had this feeling for two weeks, then i stopped drinking sheng Pu'erh for 5 days and it went away.

Today i start again drinking Sheng and the feeling returned, but less intense not very cold.

My friend gets headache after drinking oolong, he holds the opinion, that tea depletes the thyroid of iodine, that's why he gets headache. I only get headache when o stop drinkong tea for one day, otherwise i am fine.

Is it because tea is overly yin and the thyroid is yang, so it contracts more than usual to balance the cold ?

Best wishes from the forest in Myanmar.

Interesting tea routine,
In Chinese medicine understanding, tea is mild cooling in property, puer tea is a kind of specially processed tea and is relatively warmer than others.
The Chinese will mix tea with other herbs to exert a stronger balancing effect.
