Wednesday's Question of the Day: tea or coffee?

Good morning, friends! I'm wondering how do you kick-start your day, with coffee or tea? Energy drinks, vitamin water, or a smoothie?

What gets you going in the morning?
 

I love coffee with cream! For about a year I drank Earl Grey tea with honey, but now it's back to delicious coffee.

Always always coffee in the morning. With a splash of Bailey's coffee creamer. Nothing else compares. But, I often can't sleep at night without a cup of hot tea. Tazo's "Awake" as a matter of fact... Funny how that works out.

I don't drink anything caffeinated in the morning, LOL. Unless I'm up super early and have lots to do all day. I usually have my coffee about 1 or 2 in the afternoon, because that's when I get tired. I have coffee because it has more caffeine but I really prefer tea.

Coffee - fresh ground espresso roast or Columbian medium roast, a bit of cream; that mostly wakes me up. Tea just doesn't a thing for me.

I always have coffee in the morning except for the rare occasions that I'm completely out of it, then it's tea.

We couldn't survive without our morning coffee. I've been using Folgers, half caffeine, half regular. and we both love it. Tea occasionally -- for some strange reason I associate tea with not feeling well, or cold weather. But that morning coffee is a MUST!!!!

Coffee. With hazelnut creamer and a little sugar.  In my big SS Elation (Carnival ship, now retired) cup.  And then, the rest of the day I drink only water.

Definitely coffee. I need at least two cups in the morning to get me started.

Definitely coffee. In fact, my first post of the day on Facebook this morning was about how good the freshly brewed coffee tasted this morning. Yum! And I take it black, no sweetener.

I typically drink tea at home.  My favourite black tea is Tetley Tea. Very strong with some milk.  I also love flavoured teas and tend to drink them plain without milk or sugar. However, lately I have been adding a little bit of honey to flavoured tea.

I am not a real coffee lover. I love the smell, but am not much for the taste. However, I do drink it on occasion, but I don't go out expressly for coffee, and it's not something I crave, and I can go days, weeks and months between cups.  At home if I feel like a cup, I'll make instant Maxwell House. If I use my coffee maker, I make a flavoured blend (Irish Cream, Chocolate Raspberry or Butter Rum).  At home I add milk. When out because I'm lactose intolerant I drink it black.  The last time I had a cup of coffee was about a month ago, maybe longer.

My mother always asked how anything that smelled that good tasted so foul.

It's coffee for me.  After my DD was born I got to drinking one small cup a day.  I had to cut out caffiene when I got pregnant with DS...but after he came I went to one BIG cup a day!  Some days that isn't enough! 

I do love tea though. 

Previously it's been coffee, but I seem to have developed a strange intolerance to caffeine... makes my blood sugar all loopy.

So from now on it's water in the morning, or a noncaffeinated Coke.

I. MUST. HAVE. COFFEE.   This morning, I slept through the alarm...again...and woke up 20 minutes before I had to get ready for work. I don't think I got a full cup in and I could tell. Mornings is the only time I really drink coffee or any caffine though. I need 2 cups in the morning to be completely coherent (although that may just be a mental thing because it could be 2 regular sized cups or 2 of our huge cups.) I do drink tea occasionally, but usually at night when its cold or when I'm not feeling good. I like a little sugar in my hot tea (but not my cold tea) but my coffee, with is usually Folgers, I like hot, black and strong!

Hahahaha!  I thought I was the only one that loved the smell but hate the taste.  I love it when someone makes a fresh pot because I think it smells great but you will never get me to drink it. 

I love a cup of tea to get me up and going in the morning but I will only drink it when the weather gets cool.  I can't drink tea in the summer.  Yes I know, I'm strange

I love the smell of coffee....it definitely smells better than it tastes. But I have my cup every morning and can't seem to get going without it.

The only hot tea I drink is Earl Grey. We are big iced tea drinkers and I always have two pitchers of iced tea in the fridge. Rick can't get by without it, even during the winter.

either or for me its not the caffine I need its the warm drink ill often drink coffee in bed n a night and drift straight off LOL im a freak!!

Coffee is a must for me. I never drank coffee until i adopted my daughter. She was not a good sleeper I needed coffee to keep me going.
