1. It's gotta be coffee
I dunno about tea when you're healthy, it's just not the same. I drink SBux, only because it get the coffee for free. If not that, then Tim Hortons.

2. green tea
I get this completely awesome organic mountain grown green tea from China from my acupuncturist that is the best tea ever.

While I love coffee in small doses, I can drink my green tea all day every day. It's low caffeine but high in tons shit that good for you like anti-oxidants. (At least thats what I've read.)

Seriously, organic mountain green tea.

3. Coffee, from Peets
I've been mail ordering coffee beans from Peets for nearly 25 years. They sell tea too.

5. I am a coffee fiend. I use Folgers mostly--100% Colombian and
tez of any flavor. My sister brought back a pound of coffee from Italy last year for me and it was marvelous. If I knew how to order it I would. Best I have ever drunk.

7. My sister used to be stationed in Colombia
She works for the government. She used to send me a pound of fresh Colombian coffee every year at Christmas. The first time she sent it, she had a note on it that said something like "here is a sample of Colombia's most famous export" and the package was shaped like a brick. I was sweating bullets - thought she'd sent me something entirely different! :shrug:

6. I can't drink much coffee any more
I used to drink it all day long (Folger's mostly) but now it really bothers my stomach.

Tea doesn't and I drink Twining's Earl Grey. Two cups every morning.
