Tea versus Coffee (lemmy.world)

What is your choice of hot drink between the two? A cup of tea or a cup of coffee?

I used to be big on drinking tea including herbals which was relaxing while reading a book or looking up about subjects in the I.T field for me.

But coffee? I drink it in the morning ready for my day and work search, keeps me upright that caffeine stuff but I don't drink more than 2 cups due to caffeine contents.

I used to drink quite a lot of it in the workplace (Deadlines and projects tend to make you do that)

So what about you? Are you a tea enjoyer or a coffee enjoyer?

Mostly only drink tea while I'm sick. I drink coffee every day getting up with my wife, but I'd rarely drink it on my own.

A few weeks ago my wife went out of town for a long weekend and I had the most persistent headache that wouldn't go away. When she came back, it went away as soon as I started drinking coffee with her and I realized it was caffeine withdrawal. I hate being physically dependent on coffee, but it's a big part of our morning ritual.

I'm the same, tea when I'm sick. Sometimes I won't realize I'm getting sick until I turn on the kettle. That's when I know.

Try Earl Grey tea, it can be decently stimulating. I know these things hehe
