Tea or Coffee? (What do you drink to stay awake?)

Oh god yes!
Once I got this Taiwanese Oolong called.... and I'm not making this up... it was called "Super Oolong". I drank that tea exclusively at least 4 times a day till the packet ran out. Good shit.

Starbucks... I think I vomited a bit inside my mouth....

Definitely coffee, I do love tea but it doesn't do much for me :/

It's honestly not bad. I mean, half the menu is undrinkable sugary death, but some if it's pretty alright. I'll admit I don't understand the hatred most people hold for it. :/

Coffee all the way for me. I only drink tea when I relax.

I like them both! But I usually drink coffee. The caffeine doesn't really affect me unless I don't have any, if that makes sense ^.^ I work as a barista/bartender, so even when I'm not at home I'm surrounded by the stuff. Tea has a lot more varieties than coffee, so it's more versatile in terms of what to drink it with. Need to wake up? There's a tea for that! Upset stomach? There's a tea for that! Need to stay awake for the next 48 hours? Better drink some coffee. Not that I only drink coffee for the caffeine; I genuinely like the taste. It's a beautiful drink ^.^

Honestly, I drink chocolate milk 95% of the time. ha. Caffeine makes me sleepy, so I don't like to drink much of it.

The other 5% of the time I go for the tea. Usually herbal (rooibos is probably my favorite), but Early Grey is soooooo yummy...

Is "Early Grey" a different iteration of the classic Earl Grey? Like a breakfast blend?

I know it's popular in the US, but here in Australia Starbucks failed epically. Now there's like one or two left open and it mainly cater to tourists because the locals just don't drink it. What they tried to pass as coffee was just sugary turd water.
There are cafes serving proper coffee everywhere and they just couldn't compete with them.

I like both, really. (though not at the same time, I never tried that and that just sounds like it might be too much caffeine for me all at once.)
As for tea, I like green tea.
When coffee is involved, it either has to be a mocha, or have lots of milk and sugar added. Also I like my mocha really strong.

Both coffee and tea for me, too. But for staying awake, I fear the effects of caffeine on me may have diminished from having drinking too much.

Whoa that sounds awesome, super oolong tea sounds like something I need in my life.

I hate coffee and I hate tea...so I drink either hot chocolate or strawberry soda.

My husband uses coffee. Our art partner drinks coffee. I'm a weirdo and drink smoothies and/or herbal teas. :3

Silerna 2015-12-23 11:30:34 UTC #50

Tea, with lemon and...juice xD

Zanreo 2015-12-23 12:04:31 UTC #51

Tea all the way, I love tea and always have lots of different flavors on hand.

Can't stand coffee, never liked the taste no matter how much stuff I put into it.

Silerna 2015-12-23 12:13:52 UTC #52

Same with coffee although the smell of it isn't that bad in my opinion

Zannen00 2015-12-23 14:16:23 UTC #53

Well, I'm not really a tea, nor a coffee person... what I usually drink is a cup of:

Thats a Malt drink btw...

scythe 2015-12-23 15:04:49 UTC #54

You must have channelled me to write this. I'm exactly the same. I could stick my head in a pot of coffee all day long if I didn't have other things to do, but the second a grain/drop of that stuff hits my tongue... NOPE NOPE NOPE.

I drink so much tea I had to learn to cut out sugar in my black tea, coz even a single spoon per cup adds up over the day. In fact, I'm going to go get another one right now.

I love drinking tea to stay warm, but it doesn't really keep me awake. I love the greens, especially the green jasmines and other lighter, crisper flavors. Sometimes I like the fruity greens, but I have to be in the mood for it. I also enjoy rooibos and honeybush teas, and have recently started enjoying mint teas.

But, if it's staying awake I'm after, then that's what sugar free red bull is for. You could say I have a slight addicition...but hey, it's the only energy drink in the world with two F1 teams!
