coffee or tea

which do you prefer?? I'm trying to get into tea, but we'll see...I have a cup of java in the morning to take my meds & supplements (plenty of those), but that's about it. Drinking some green tea with a Thai influence-ginger, coconut, but don't think it's gonna become a habit.

strong coffee all the way.

i do like decaf chai in the evening, and it sorta' is an on-again, off-again habit. if i had my way it'd be espresso's, but i have to cut off my caffeine intake by 1-2 at the latest, and i like a hot drink in the eve.

living overseas, i learned the `tea-time' ritual. it's serious stuff.

I had to quit coffee because of my high blood pressure. It took me several days to stop craving coffee but I am enjoying the English Breakfast teas, they taste stronger than wimply Lipton brands and such. If I go out for dinner, I treat myself to a cuppa joe. It SOOO good!

I like tea, but it doesn't like me.
Tannic acid makes me throw up.

I can handle Snapple. (Maybe it doesn't even really have any tea in it, LOL!!!)

I can do coffee in moderation.

One pot dark roast when I wake up.
Another pot at about 10:30.
One more pot with lunch.
And so on.
Then quit when I go to bed.

(Actually, I drink 2 big mugs a day.)

I have 1-3 cups of coffee a day with stevia and unsweetened vanilla coconut milk. If I don't have at least one cup I will die (not really-but I feel like it). I like tea though, maybe I should drink more of that? I wonder which one is better for you?

Teas..like caffeine in the morning..so I drink cinnamon Bigelow with sometimes a little milk or sometimes a sugar cube.

At night sometimes a hot cup of decaf peppermint or orange.

I will drink flavored coffee out or try others favorite coffees sometimes.

I like herbal, flavored teas now and again. Java wins hands down as a favorite for sure.

I love both, and actually drink a lot of both everyday, which doesn't help with anxiety! But I would have to say chai tea is my fav :-)

I'm one of those crazy caffeine-addicted people... Generally I drink about 1 L of coffee per day. Sometimes I drink tea too, but mostly coffee. It calms me down most of the times.
