Y'all should start drinking tea if you don't already

Yeah, just pointing out if you substitute for coffee and still drink quite a few, you may want to know.

Yeah for sure. I do have two kinds at home, one that is decaffeinated and the other that isn't.
Happy that it's autumn here finally so my tea drinking will go up. I used to be picky and get specific kinds of tea but my girlfriend's mom keeps giving free tea from China so I just drink that.
It is time.
I've gotta pick out a nice brand of chai, pumpkin spice and a herbal for this fall. Its a requirement for cool afternoons.

The caffeine in green tea is modulated a bit by the amino acid L-theanine found in green tea. It's why most people find green tea doesn't make them jittery like coffee can.
Ginger tea is best tea. I drink all different varieties of it. Stash makes a good Ginger Peach Green Tea. Yogi Lemon Ginger. Salada Ginger Mango. Trader Joe's Ginger Turmeric. Tea of Life Moringa Ginger. Pukka Three Ginger. Unfortunately they discontinued my favorite tea. It was a black Raspberry Ginger tea from Yogi. I would drink a cup every morning at work. I've been trying to find a suitable replacement but can't seem to find the one. Current favorite non-Ginger tea is Sleepytime Peach by Celestial.

I'm not a fan of Green Tea,but the Strawberry Vanilla flavor makes it taste great.
I'm sort of also in the boat where a lot of tea smells amazing, but then it just tastes like extremely weak leaf water for the most part. The only tea I've had any success with is Chais, the one I have right now at home is Bigelow's Vanilla Chai which I like but still feel like I'd need to be putting milk or something in it which I'd prefer not to do if I don't have to. I mostly drink iced coffee and water, and I usually do the coffee black. I've tried making iced tea once or twice at home but it doesn't go well. What's the secret tea-era?? I don't mind if I have to put just a little bit of something in (I sometimes put just a small amount of cream in my iced coffee, but mostly just for the texture) but I feel like if I have to dump cream and sugar in it I'm missing the point.

What kind of advice is this? There are benefits to tea that water doesn't have and who said I don't drink water, as I already do many cups a day? lol
You brew a pot/cup of tea by steeping the leaves, if you do it too long you stew the tea.
"If the tea leaves are left in the hot water too long, they start releasing tannins, which impart a bitter taste to the tea (interestingly, steepinggreen or black tea for a longer period of time, such as 15 minutes, gives a bitter drink with medicinal properties"
It can be. It increases your blood pressure so doctors will recommend people with high blood pressure avoid it.
This is a weird issue. Like saying "the smell of pizza makes me sick." There are so many kinds, and they all smell different. Maybe just green tea smell makes you sick?
Really don't understand the sugar and milk requirement some have for tea....
Beyond some Chai teas, should never be added. Tea has a mild flavor.

Because I assume they are substituting coffee for soda. Black coffee has no calories.
Always tasted like hot water with milk and sugar to me but that's just me.
My black tea is drank black and my black coffee stays black.
I have tried to drink plenty of variations at differents stages in my life and it is always the same. Probably I was killed by poisoned tea in my past life or something.
Drinking coffee in excess of four or five cups a day is not good for you.
I don't think I will ever be able to just drink cofee without some sugar substitute and cream, but chamomile is pretty great for reducing inflammation.
I enjoy it as well but if you put a bunch of sugar in it its basically no better than soda. Most people I see drink it put way too much sugar in it.

Love tea - well, most teas, anyway. Once you get into the herbal stuff it's a lot more hit or miss, although I do like a nice cup of sleepytime tea in the evening.
Mint teas can burn in hell.
I don't really have a preference for green or black or red teas or their variants. I do like a good gunpowder green tea, though, and I'd rather people keep the bergamot out of black tea. It's too flowery - same goes with jasmine or lavender-based teas.
I also have a water boiler at home, which makes it easy to steep a quick cup of tea whenever I feel like it.

Tell me something I don't know. I'm simply explaining that I feel better not because of the absence of coffee but because of the consumption of tea. That is all.
Green tea is the way to go, I mostly drink Chun Mee. An occasional herbal tea is very nice too, especially if you drink it correspondingly to your aches.
I am still drinking coffee but I am trying to cut that down. I've been at a point where I drank max 1 cup a day and none on some days, but currently I am back at 2 per day. It sucks. Caffeine is a drug just like any other and the withdrawal symptoms are terrible.

Yeah, I do too. When I feel hungry I just go for a cup instead and satiate myself.
The minute that I stopped putting sugar on my brewages is when I realized a whole new world of flavors
People look me weird when I tell them that I don't want sugar or saccharine on my Tea or Coffee, but for me now is more weird to see people changing completely the flavor of the drink

Top 5 teas from ya girl:
- Good ol' Tetley black tea, builders brew style. Yorkshire is overrated YEAH YOU HEARD ME
- Four o'clock Gingerbread tea
- Twinings Earl Grey with Orange Blossom
- Teekanne Rooibos Vanilla
- Chai latte haha I tricked you this isn't a real tea but it's the best way to enjoy chai IMO.
You probably don't like the flavour of tannic acid.
try rooibos and/or vanilla tea. They're low in tannins while still being kind of a rich flavour, instead of a bitter herbal-y one.
