My mother got me a box of assorted flowering teas for my birthday, they are all just as delicious as they are gorgeous.

I like the taste of coffee, but I usually drink tea. I try not to add sugar or milk because they take away from the health benefits. My favorite tea currently is Ti Kuan Yin Oolong from The Republic of Tea. Some one I know tried to drink some unsweetened green tea I had once. I think she almost threw up. It was cold tea from a bag so I don't really blame her. I'll make something fresh sometime and let her try it.
To reduce the amount of caffiene I drink, I've ordered a one pound bag of red tea (rooibos). It is naturally caffiene free and still has all of the antioxidants that green tea has.

I need to reorder several teas from The Republic of Tea. Comfort & Joy is seasonal, and won't be back until October. :[
I have this teacup set, and I adore it. http://www.republicoftea.com/images/...il/p94812B.jpg

I drink Café-Libertad. It's really rather tasty, also it's grown and produced by some EZLN communities in Mexico.
You can find more about it on Teh Googlez.

Coffee every morning. Full of sugar and soy milk.

I got some honey ginger tea today. I'm thoroughly considering having some with breakfast after this frigid night.

I take pleasure in drinking a cup of hot coffee with either hazelnut,caramel, or french vanilla creamer in the morning while looking over my list of errands. I have also tried iced coffee that I bought from a vegan health store. It was delightful and refreshing.

Carte Noire, premium Arabica from France.
Definitely my current favourite, even though I have to have it brought over (they don't sell it here). 3-5 cups a day, plus a few cups of green tea here and there. The day just doesn't seem right without caffeine. Like it's missing something key.

Coffee doesn't grow in France.

Mmmm, coffee.
I've been drinking black chai tea with a hint of sugar over the last few days - It's excellent, and goes perfectly with my last cigar, which had strong hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Joy, in cigar form.

Well then, what do you mean "from France?" Roasted and packaged there?
And what makes it so much better than coffee roasted locally?

Yes, that's what I meant. And what makes it better? I prefer the taste. Really, it's not a statement I expected to be picked apart; I was simply stating that Carte Noire is, to me, the best-tasting coffee I've ever had. I also enjoy a few of the roasts I can get at a local coffee shop called "The Sleepless Goat", and certainly don't shy away from the rest.

Oh dear.
I'm on my fourth cup of coffee this morning.
It's 6:20AM.
How did my life become such a mess?

Ever tried Coconut Milk with Coffee? It's alright, but gives it a certain texture that doesn't go down too well if you dislike peculiar ones.
4 cups of Coffee at 6am? Do you work nightshifts or something close to that?

Coconut milk? I'm technically not supposed to drink coffee, I don't want it clogging my arteries at the same time o.O
As for teas I'm very fond of matcha, but sadly its expensive so its a sometimes thing. Its also really really good in milkshakes.

No, I wake up between 4-6am evey morning and go to sleep at 11pm-2am every night, because I have odd and annoying sleep patterns.
Caffeine addiction is an issue for me as I can get severe headaches if I go without it as well as extreme tiredness.

Whatever my Dad has on when I get out of the shower in the morning is the way I go.
Eh, I can't really wake up till I drink it.

I've started drinking red tea which has no caffeine, I'm still addicted to caffeine from soda though. For me it is like crack.
