Coffee in the morning. Drip or espresso.

VERY rarely I will have an Early Gray/Grey? cup in the winter. Or "herbals" if that counts...How many of you primary coffee drinkers also drink tea? How many of you primary tea drinkers also drink coffee? I'm a tea-totaler, but drink coffee on rare occasions. For purposes of full disclosure I don't drink anything that's carbonated and don't drink alcohol.
And tea has probably better health benefits for the gut. Better stated: is kinder to the gut, per my Doc.I like coffee, but tea I like more. Especially when tea is herbal. Coffee I drink only in the mornings to wake up, but tea I can drink all day. I also try to limit myself in coffee because it has a bad effect on my heart.
It is mostly composed of tannins, so naturally it tastes like tree bark.Tea only. Coffee makes my stomach turn and makes me feel ill for rest of the day.
Haven't tried it in like 15 years to see if it's still the same, but it still smells awful when other people have it, so I'm fine leaving it alone, hehe.
If that's your only experience, then you've never had good tea. I've had tea that left a sweet aftertaste leaving a trail of honey-like sweetness down my throat. I've also had floral teas. Not to mention smokey teas.It is mostly composed of tannins, so naturally it tastes like tree bark.
If he's talking about British tea, sure. But tea lovers realize the Brits know nothing about real tea.
Half English on my mother's side, but I've never liked any of the typically British brands of tea, heh. I LIVE for a good Earl Grey, but it's sometimes hard to find an Earl Grey that doesn't taste like that Yorkshire Gold garbage.If he's talking about British tea, sure.

I'm sorry if I didn't make my remark perfectly clear, just to throw a jab to tease coffee people. It is about 'coffee'. Tea doesn't have tannins, it has phytates.If that's your only experience, then you've never had good tea.

Frankly, there is such a wide variety of teas out there, to say teas taste of tea bark is like saying all meat taste like chicken because it's all made of proteins.
Tea and coffee affect acetylcholine levels; although cortisol 'similarly' also drops in the evening, too. It pertains a rather curious coincidence with daily body adenosine levels which I am not informed if there is a direct correlation.I read about cortisol levels in the morning being highest especially at sleep's end. Does it make sense to drink caffeinated drinks when cortisol levels drop?
LOL! I was just teasing. While I prefer Chinese teas, I've had some English teas in the (now distant) past. I can't recall what they were offhand, but they were okay.Half English on my mother's side, but I've never liked any of the typically British brands of tea, heh.
