Tea (plus merged tea / coffee thread)

[jamiethearcher]

anyone else here enjoy a good cuppa every now and then?

I personally am addicted, I love nothing better than some tea in the evening.

Personal favorites are Green tea, and Earl Grey tea. - I honestly drink this stuff by the gallon!

I like Mr. Tea!

 

[Irish Caesar]

Naw, I get my fix from Coke. The beverage, that is.

Although I will admit that I'm curious as to why tea in the evening? Seems like it would just keep you up all night...and possibly going to the bathroom, too.

I am a morning person - I usually dont need any stimulus to get going when I get up, but I do get sleepy come evening. This allows me to get in a superlong day!

I think there is less caffine in tea than coffee, but maybe in the quantities I drink it, it evens out.

im quite a tea drinker too myself. mostly with chinese green tea, jasmine, Teh Guan Yin and only occasionally, english tea.

 

[Irish Caesar]

Yep, tea has much less than coffee. Still, I personally like to stick to Sprite in the later hours...avoid it altogether.

At the risk of being branded a heretic by my esteemed cousins across the pond, the best tea is sun brewed iced tea . I can drink glasses and glasses of it. I do occasionally enjoy a nice cup of Irish Breakfast tea, but I'm usually an iced tea man.

Whats the sunbrewed ice tea like ?

 

[punkbass2000]

I like a good cup of tea every now and again. I generally prefer green teas.

Well, it's...er...I don't know how to describe it. It tastes like iced tea, but better than any other brewing method.

You take a couple of bags of this, or maybe this, add a gallon of water, seal it, and set it outside in the sun on a nice warm day for a few hours.

 

[Hitro]

I personally drink neither, as my stomach doesn't handle coffee well and as I don't like tea. Which is often hard as I lack the coffeine.

Oh, there shall be a poll.

 

[Fifty]

hot cocoa + caffeine pills = fifty's morning pep beverage of choice

 

[Hitro]

I never took coffeine pills. How expensive are they? And any downsides?

 

[MjM]

Both suck. I like tap water with extra chlorine.

Maybe $5 for like 20 of them. There are no downsides aside from those associated with caffeine in general.

 

[bhsup]

And any downsides?

Um, yeah, you could say that. I recall one instance where I got stuck with first and last radio watch on manuevers one time every night. I was popping vivarin like it was going out of style. You talk about an upset stomach.

Oh, and don't crush it up and snort it, hoping the caffeine will hit your brain faster. Bad, bad, BAD idea.

 

[Hitro]

Defintely something to consider.

 

[Perfection]

I wonder if there is a way to mix coffee and tea to create some sort of super-beverage...
