I am a coffee person all the way! I love it mostly just bitter but sometimes I like my coffee with cream. :3

I've actually had coffee two or three times in the past month. When I actually need wake up I have it, and at one point I just really didn't feel like making tea, so I nabbed some coffee my mom made.

So I found out recently that people with organ transplants aren't supposed to drink green tea. Alas! Oh well, not that I drink much anyway but my cousin's doctor mentioned it to him, so I would think my doctor would have mentioned it to me at some point, especially given they know I drink a lot of tea (got chewed out for the amount and strength of black tea I drink already). Apparently Green tea boosts your immune system, which is counter productive when one wants to squish it for organ health, and can lower the effects of some meds. Grapefruit and pomegranate do the same thing, but this is the first I've heard about it for pomegranate and green tea.

I wish I had known this sooner, but I don't appear to be any worse for wear. Now I'm not sure what I should do.

Chai tea, with milk. It's divine!
I do love green tea with lemon and some sugar. Though I always drink it cold.

New reply!

I love Chai tea as well, particularly made on the stove right in the milk but packages do as well. I have to be carefull where I make it sometimes since two people I live with have problems with cinnamon and the types I have contain cinnamon. It's not too much of a problem though.

Never tried green tea cold except for a Matcha smoothie once, and I'm not really a fan of matcha. I'vce had green tea I get as some Asian restaurants that just happend to get cold while I'm eating, and I have no problems with that. I suppose I should try it iced some time. :)

*flashes through wearing a largish coffee can*

Is there a reason you are wearing a coffee can? I've seen the odd person wearing a beer box...

Tea all the way. There's more variety, and it's tastier. But if I really feel like I need the caffeine, I'll drink coffee sometimes.

I feel blah unless I have some manner of tea in the morning, probably because of the caffeine. Had a bit of a snag the other day when I wanted something to drink that wasn't tea but that's all we have around! I'm going to have to start experimenting.

I am more a coffee person, but I do appreciate a good tea.

I actually host a tea party once a month for 6-9 of my friends. C: Complete with appropriate china, serving utensils and a variety of teas and finger snacks.

I am a coffee with flavored creamers kinda gal. I do like a good mint tea though... but I'm mainly a soda person

More coffee people!

My dad and stepmother live on coffee and flavoured creamers. Not my thing though. When I have coffee it's usually just regular coffee with cream and sugar. Lots of cream and much sugar. ;)

I have a tea party for my birthday each year, Saith. I rent the teacups though (really just finer looking coffee cups. The rental place lies!) as I'd be too concerned for my china. People bring snacks often but I always try to be sure there are at least cucumber sandwiches around. ;). Next year though, I'm tempted just to book a large group at the local Fairmont Hotel for high tea instead, and save on the trouble. I like high tea. :).

Oooo we were talking as a tea party group to go in for High Tea one of these days. But me being pregnant now, I can't drink a whole lot of caffeine.

You could always bring or ask for a herbal tea. I know it's not technically "tea" but I'm sure people would understand given the situation.

In the summer I drink iced tea almost every time I eat out. Unsweetened though, putting sugar in it is a travesty! One time I forgot to specify at McDonald's and they gave me sweet tea and it was so sugary it was actually kind of gritty >.<

I hardly ever sweeten my tea at all. Once in a while, especially if I'm a little bit sick, I might put a spoonful of honey in my black tea, but not often. And I drink coffee way more often than tea; I used to hate black coffee but then I started working overnight shifts doing signing at a grocery store and I drank it just to stay awake and eventually it grew on me. I currently work in the kitchen for a local cafe and we have our own local coffee roaster so we've got all the free coffee we can drink and I usually have at least 2-3 cups per shift.
