I can drain a whole 12 ounce pot of coffee in 1 hour myself. Straight black please and not that "flavored water" that you can see thru either. The sub force taught me to appreciate a good strong cup!

I ceased a life-long addiction to coffee during a diet several years ago and have never looked back. My coffee addition is gone forever!

I drink a lot of tea now but I'm not addicted to it. If I'm thirsty and tea is not around, even water will do.

Until now, I've been drinking mostly flavored green teas but I'm discovering what is now being marketed as red tea. I like them both.

I cup of proper coffee in the morning, then decaf for the rest of the day (had to cut right down on caffeine to help fight against anxiety attacks).

My wife drinks the green or red teas like The Avon Lady, but there's nothing better for me than a decent stong cup of Tetley's or Yorkshire tea, with 1 sugar and just enough milk to make it opaque.

Differemt leaves that give off a different color but most important a different flavor.

I started teen life with a coffee in the morning and decafes the rest of the day but more and more of those decafes turned into caffienated coffee.

BTW, no sugar whatsoever.

My husband got me to pass on the sugar righta after we were married.

I thought tea only came in one flavour and that was tea flavoured tea ?

Tea leaves have more caffeine than coffee beans before they are brewed. However, tea is diluted quite a bit more than most coffees. The average cup of tea contains about half as much caffeine as the average cup of instant coffee, and the average cup of instant coffee contains about half as much caffeine as a cup of proper espresso coffee.

Tea contains more caffeine that coffee is an urban myth? Read on

Yes, old myth.

And of course, most herbal teas contain no caffeine at all. And, like coffee, there are plenty of decaf teas, if you really need one.

My experience is that one cup of coffee will prevent me from sleeping until it wears off, while drinking numerous teas or colas has absolutely no effect on me. Anyone else experience this discrepency?

Yup, no coffee for me after 18:00 or so (to be safe) tea is no problem for me. :hmm:
