Nobody seems to care Why they need to start their day with a cup of tea…It would be worth to be free or at least to feel free..Starbucks loves you all!

I like both tea and coffee (I used to like tea better before I read the infos in the following links) .I'm not addicted to any of these,I can get up in the morning and continue my day without drink any of these beverages.Yet I would like to increase my daily productivity a little so I have the same questions with Om Malik . BUT recently I learned that tea has fluoride and by searching i found some very disturbing informations...please check these , especially the reference about tea and tell me what do you think now. www.westonaprice.org/envtoxins/fluoride opposingdigits.com/forums/viewtopic

For me, I can’t have any type of tea til lunchtime. So my day usually starts out with 1 or 2 cups of coffee (small cups…my office doesn’t give us the big ones).

By lunch time I’m sipping on iced tea, usually with a couple of refills. For dinner I’ll have iced tea again, and occasionally at night I’ll have a glass of hot tea. If I’m out to dinner maybe a cappuccino.

I just can’t do tea in the mornings!

just as DAVE GOOD says above: coffee. 1.)This is how I wake up first thing in the morning ... 2.)As for tea, as a true son of the south, it’s iced tea or nothing. 1.)same here, by mornings seem rocky, till that first cup. i feel sluggish, irritable, and just plain ole 'i dont wanna talk, i dont wanna work ... where's my cup??' hahaha 2.)and the tea? man o man, have you got that one right ... heavily iced, Iced Tea is how i take it. usually in my monster-sized-jumbo-711-44-ounce cup.

Coffee…must_ have_ coffee. This is how I wake up first thing in the morning. I can’t really process anything more than basic physical functions until I have coffee. My wife and children measure our mornings from the time before daddy has coffee, to the time after daddy has coffee. My usual moring beverage is iced coffee, with half-n-half, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. After that the world slams into focus, and the family is on hypredrive until we are all out of the house.

Work is based around the consumtion of diet Coke, until about 2 pm. Then it is straight water, or decafinated diet Coke( or other de-caf diet soda) until about 9 pm. If I have too much caffine too late, I’m like Anne, and can’t sleep.

As for tea, as a true son of the south, it’s iced tea or nothing. Although, inlight of my advancing decrepitude and to avoid any more poundage in the mid-section, I prefer it unsweetened, with lemon. I can’t say that I am a gourmet about the coffee or tea that I drink, but I do prefer Earl Grey and Green Teas, as well as, Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kona, or a good roasted arabica in coffee. The reality is that I’m usually drinking whatever the wife picked up on sale, and am thankful to have that.
