Tea or Coffee?

What does everyone prefer? I do know that tea is better for you, esp the ones without caffeine. I do like to have a cup of coffee (actually a mocha) once in a while.
I usually try to stay with chamomile, roobios and green tea to name a few. Reply to this

   Peppermint tea is my favorite for comfort. I drink tea all day long. But, if my system could handle it I would be drinking mocha latte all day long!

   Yes, I know what you mean about the mochas! Since I am pregnant, I am really avoiding the coffee. And, of course, I have been craving it like crazy!!
   Peppermint tea is wonderful. It is one of the ingredients in a pregnancy tea that I drink daily.

   We sell organic coffee, so it's not too bad for ya ;)
   We also have coffee alternatives which I believe are made from either soy or a certain kind of nut.
   I'm considering trying them out since I think I should really lay off the caffeine (coffee drinker EVERY DAY since 5 years old, I'm 23 now)...might do me some good!

   Yeah, coffee is super addicting (at least for me!)
   I have heard of the coffee replacements, made of a certain nut. There is also the mocha mate. Made by Guakuyaki. (think I spelled that right.) It is really good. It does have caffeine though because of the mate.

      Oh yeah! Guayaki I think...I'll have to double check haha. Our popular brands of coffee alternatives are by Teecino, Pero, and Cafix. I have been thinking about getting them...I want to wean off the caffeine!

   Something made me stop drinking tea and coffee when I was about 18 - I've had a couple of cups of conventional tea since and they aren't as good as I expect. Decent coffee does smell really good though. Instead, for a hot drink I tend to have lemon and ginger infusion or orange, honey and ginger (the ginger is a great pep me up in the mornings)

      The only reasons I ever want to quit caffeine are when I am too drained the rest of the day, or when I get a little jittery (which is rare), but usually if I have more than 2 cups a day, my lymph nodes swell and it is painful. That is enough to make me worry and want to quit!
      Soon I am going to try to kick the habit.

   mmm, that sounds really good. I can also imagine that would be a great "pregnancy morning-sickness" drink!
   Thankfully I am well past the morning sickness thing. :)
