I love tea. I have a passion for it. I always have boxes upon boxes of it around. Usually my first drink in the morning is coffee, these days -- French press, French roast, and always brewed just so. I only tend to drink a single cup of coffee a day though, and in the afternoons (or the equivalent, since I'm usually mostly nocturnal when I operate) I'll have two cups of tea.
Since it gets kind of toasty here around the summer though, I usually switch to a single glass of iced tea during the summer. I like to make special iced teas!
I read years ago that having apple juice in the morning.is actually more effective in waking you up, and I did it for a while and found it to be pretty accurate for me, but I wasn't able to keep doing it indefinitely. Coffee's just easier!
