I have a feeling this is going to be much worse than the AI 'Get to know the book' summary that's really good at misunderstanding the plot of a lot of stories...

I've already seen this Amazon 'ask a question' stuff totally mischaracterise a story, making it sound very very different from what it actually is.
The case I saw was an MM romance book with characters in the navy and are referenced to be 'brothers' (in arms) but AI thinks it means blood related...

For decaf teas, I prefer Sainsbury's store brand for earl grey, nothing else even comes close, and for black tea I prefer Twinings English Breakfast.
I live in the Netherlands, so both are not easy to get here sadly enough...

I can't go back to drinking stuff with caffeine in it, it messes with my brain big time. So, decaf and finding the best experience is the best I can do to still enjoy coffee or tea.

It does change the taste, I agree.
Though for coffee, I tend to go for a dark roast instead of a light roast to counteract this issue. For tea, I tried a lot of different brands and picked the one that gave me the right experience. It'll never be exactly the same, but it's the best I can do.

Oh, thanks for letting me know! I'll see if I can find them in Europe!

I can imagine, yes.
The problem is that most decaf (just like sugar free or low-fat) products have a different taste that's created because it's the 'healthier' (heavy airquotes) version, which is especially annoying when there's no reason for it to be different, it's purely so it tastes 'different'

I haven't tried with matcha yet. It took me a long time to find decaf coffee that's you don't notice doesn't have caffeine (apart from my partner, who's a coffee snob and also still enjoys the decaf one, but other people don't notice 🤣), same for tea, I kind of fear attempting the same for matcha. 😱

As someone who can't have caffeine but loves macha (and coffee), sadly yep. There are really good decaf tea and coffee out there (and for tea, plenty of infusions and other things that have no tea in them but are still great), but macha or green tea are not it.

100% yes! Also, stuff keeps growing and shrinking and in Safari I now have to click two options to get to all my tabs (my main way of navigating there...).
For the keyboard, I've been using SwiftKey ever since I got an iPhone, but I don't know if it's available anymore.
