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

[Cielle]

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...

[Doubtcent]

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.

[SpavVy]

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

[Kamikaze]

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

[Silerna]

Tea, with lemon and...juice xD

[Zanreo]

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]

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

[Zannen00]

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]

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!

[nikacomics]

I drink tea OR coffee to stay awake, but I'm actually pretty sensitive to caffeine, so if it's coffee, I water it down with lots of milk... ^^; Green tea is my current favorite, I love jasmine tea and gen mai cha. Before that, it was Earl Grey and English breakfast teas. I only really need to drink these teas in the morning, since I just go to bed when I get too tired to function, haha

I don't take sugar in my tea either! Most of the time, it just tastes better - sometimes the sweetness can obscure the flavour of the tea.

... Mind you, I used to sweeten mine with honey, not sugar, and honey has a lot of health benefits. But yeah, I cut it out to avoid the sugars.

[Wolven_Sister]

Coffee to wake me up. Basically everyone around will spontaneously combust if I dont have coffee. I typically drink bitter, black coffee with a couple scoops of sugar though I have my rare days where I'm in the mood to add powdered creamer. And sometimes I'm naughty and get fancy coffee from the coffee shops near my home. I try to be healthy about it though, I have 1-2 coffee per day and 1 fancy coffee a few times in the month.

Tea I drink to relax or if I'm craving something sweet but I don't want to eat anything. I'll drink any type of tea, Orange Spice, Chai Spice, Green tea, Earl Grey, Rice tea, berry flavored tea...the list goes on. But my favorite is Rose tea....wish I could find it in my area :/

I like the way Lynch said about it:
"Even bad coffee is better than no coffee at all"

[Shalmons]

neither of them seem to do much to keep me energized ;-; BUT! i do enjoy both of them <3
well, coffee is more enjoyment (iced in particular is blissful), tea is more "this is supposed to be good for me" although, fancier teas can be really nice. but normally i just have green with honey for the supposed health benefits.

also i really like obtaining cute mugs >>
