Tea or coffee?

I’m just finishing my 3rd coffee of the day (I really need to cut down again!) and just wondered what hot drink other people prefer? Are you a coffee drinker or do you prefer tea or perhaps you like herbal tea (good flavour recommendations welcome!) or something else? How do you take your tea/coffee/other. I drink strong black coffee with no milk or sugar but with half cold water due to sensitive gums; I don’t drink tea but do drink herbal teas depending on the flavour, lemon, ginger and manuka honey is a current favourite but peppermint and liquorice is a recent fail on the herbal tea front!

  • My preference depends on the time of day! I love coffee first thing in the morning, then I'll have one around 2pm when my energy levels tend to dip (always drink it unsweetened with a nice amount of milk, but not so much that you can't taste the bitterness of the coffee). I like to drink cups of tea in the evening and at bedtime (not too strong, not too weak, milk and no sugar).

  • Coffee first thing in the morning just has to be done right? My brain wouldn't function without a couple of strong black coffees first thing! I'm intrigued by the people that seem to be able to drink tea/coffee close to bedtime without being kept awake by it! Does the caffeine somehow not affect you?
