I had a similar experience in 70s ( in my teens) and 80s (in my 20s). Back then I drank tea almost exclusively. ofee was an ocasional treat.
MT tea was a bigger kick than many other black teas on the market, even more so than earl grey from a local european grocery, which was darned strong.
I miss the earlyMT and have been trying to find a way to duplicate it
