This green tea I’m sipping made my mind sufficiently relaxed and agile to see that punchline coming from a mile away.
As a caffeine addict, I prefer black tea because it has a shitload of caffeine in it, but makes me less jittery than coffee. However, coffee just tastes better. So I just drink both, consecutively.
I tried switching to black tea a couple of years ago because I realized that coffee was making my anxiety worse, but fucking hell did tea give me the jitters. I think I just have a bad reaction to tannins in general and apparently black tea is super high in them.
I had that, and still get it from time to time, but found that if I wait until I’ve eaten to drink tea that it feels fine.
Coffee on an empty stomach is nothing, but strong tea on an empty stomach has me feeling like being assaulted at a molecular level
Yeah it makes my teeth chatter, it’s very strange. I didn’t noticed a big difference between full vs. empty stomach but I wasn’t paying much attention to that either.
I will say that most types of tea do this to me, to varying degrees. Black teas are the worst, green tea isn’t nearly as bad. I’ve had some Chinese white teas and I barely noticed any jitteriness, but those teas really aren’t very strong to begin with.
Put a tea bag in a mug of coffee.
You blasphemous mongrel
My mother was a bitch, so what?
There’s stimulating tea too.
I enjoy tea. Issa joke.
Fuck tea.
I prefer to drink it, but whatever works for you my dude
It’s the only warmth I get 😭
Tea fucker! Tea fucker!
Weewooweewoo 🚨
Since I switched to shroom tea in the morning, I’ve been much more perceptive.
Hey, my DMTea is also great for that!
Black tea to me feels like the sledgehammer, whereas coffee is this smooth slightly syrupy beverage, that feels much more delicate. Case in point for me, I prefer my coffee black, but I would have a hard time handling a cup of tea without at least a bit of oat milk.
I don’t know where tea gets this “gentle” PR from but I find it highly dishonest and honestly I’m tired of keeping my mouth shut about it so there now I’ve said it
Hey it’s okay, your opinion is valid, no matter how objectively wrong it is :)
Don’t hold back! Tell Big Tea what you think!
(I personally like Green Tea and lighter varieties but I have to be… in the mood. I’m always in the mood for coffee on the other hand.)
I enjoy tea, but I like coffee more for most situations. Im more likely to enjoy an evening cup of tea than a morning one. Also the tannins in black tea can make me literally throw up if I havent eaten yet. Whereas a strong cup of coffee will make my digestive tract relax.
Fucked up how the British originally swapped in tea for their beer common at every meal. I would have been pissed
What’s this now?
What’s wrong with having a beer with your tea?
Yeah, I’ve tried to switch a few times. Tea literally does nothing for me.
Coffee in the morning, iced sweet tea after 11.
But iced tea tastes good without using it as a sugar delivery system.
/s btw, it’s a saying as in “you are beyond the ability of mere humans to save you”:-P
