100% tea here. Actually, more like 99.5%. I might have a cup of coffee every 6 months. The caffeine hits me hard - makes my hands shake and it can make me queasy. It sometimes gives me heart burn, too. All in all, I like coffee but it does not like me.
Heirloom tea flowers for me this morning, left from last night. This steep tasted very milky. Yum.
Happy Friday all.
Have you tried Adagio's Golden Monkey? Don't know how it compares to coffee but the flavor is very rich.henley wrote:laran7 wrote: I've looked for tea that would be a substitute - but can't seem to find one to stick with. Something strong with taste and caffeine.
Thank you Henley -I'm compiling a list for my "next order". Stores and "boutiques" in this area are very comercial - probably thats more true than not for other people too.What is available is standard - unnamed sources, boxes and bags -
I see the wisdom of sample size.

I sometimes start the morning with coffee. But it's tea, tea, tea for the rest of the day.
However, if I'm going out on break with coworkers, I almost always order coffee (because the "tea" served in coffee shops is usually not worth the effort).

It's 100% tea for me!
I love the smell of brewing coffee, but have never been able to make myself like the taste. Plus, coffee breath is usually an incentive NOT to drink coffee!
Iced Ginger Peach here at work. I got a really cool Sigg bottle (does that count as teaware if I use it to bring tea to work?) and now need an equally cool cup or mug to match.

sorry, i'm 40% coffee, 60% tea...most often, I will drink coffee when I'm travelling, or in a run, because I don't have the patience to make a cup of tea, or cannot locate any good tea (unlike many of you, I do not travel with my leaves). Sometimes a creamy cup of coffee (cream and sugar) satisfies a sweet craving, that tea sometimes cannot.

I am almost perfect - with less then 10% coffee. I still do enjoy it ocassionally.
My coffee preference? I only like it in the mornings - I take it with extra cream no sugar. My preference - Usually Don Francisco or any Kona.
But my real morning favorite seems to be Yunnan Gold.
Happy Friday everyone!
