What is your choice of hot drink between the two? A cup of tea or a cup of coffee?
I used to be big on drinking tea including herbals which was relaxing while reading a book or looking up about subjects in the I.T field for me.
But coffee? I drink it in the morning ready for my day and work search, keeps me upright that caffeine stuff but I don’t drink more than 2 cups due to caffeine contents.
I used to drink quite a lot of it in the workplace (Deadlines and projects tend to make you do that)
So what about you? Are you a tea enjoyer or a coffee enjoyer?
L-theanine might help with caffeine’s side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It’s believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.
I never knew that, thanks for sharing! Also, username checks out.
If you want a rush, try gyukuro. Flavor of an umami green tea with the caffeine level of a cup of coffee & high L-thiamine to cut the jitters.
I lived it the UK briefly & my roommate never understood my fascination generally preferring his Yorkshire tea (trash). One day he asked about it so I made him a mug (we used coffee mugs). He said it tasted like yard clippings like other green teas before walking off continuing to sip to not waste it. He comes back in 15–20 minutes later over halfway finished, “Did you put drugs in this‽”. “Nope.” “I feel like I want to run a marathon. Okay, I see the appeal for your mornings, but this is the worst high ever.”
