Most people who hate tea hate shitty hyper processed lipton bagged tea. Give them a good sencha, dragonwell, or biluochun.
I feel personally attacked! **(sips green tea)**
Really though I only drink green tea one week of the month. There are certain health benefits to be had…though I do admit it does take getting used to.
Tea is for the afternoon. Coffee is for waking the fuck up.
not if it’s matcha milk tea
When I’m working full time, I drink about a half gallon of yerba mate before noon. It’s all in the quality of leaf and processing all the way to tea cup. If you only buy cheap tea leaf and don’t steep it correctly, you will not like tea. *sips tea
The same is also true of coffee, I guess. I never liked coffee until I had nice freshly-ground dark roasted beans.
This slaps….
Hard
🤣🤣
Yes, losing my coffee would be a loss of 89% of joy in my life lol.
Coffee gave me major stomach issues so I had to stop. Now I drink regular green tea and I can confirm, I miss coffee so much 😭
most people drink average tasting coffee and add sweetener and milk and potentially spices – and compare that to cheap or average bagged tea. of course tea will come out second place for most people.
But a good tea is something really great Sencha. Genmaicha. Houjicha. Mugicha. Heck, if you want something special, go for a smoked black tea, like Lapsang Souchong
You have been banned from /r/tea
The shitty green tea you get in tea bags with crushed up stems making up half the contents and that tastes/smells like a random tree leaf is absolutely nothing like real green tea.
Black tea is the way to go for coffee substitute.
Not if it’s Moroccan tea with aromatic herbs
Green tea tastes like warm water with a sprinkle of health
I respect people who prefer tea, but personally I get no energy from it compared to coffee. Also I usually prefer the bolder taste.
And achieve migraine!
OK… That’s good. LOL
Tea makes me sick as a dog. I can drink coffee all day..
The opposite of this is true for me, I can’t stand coffee, nasty stuff. But I’ve found some tea’s that have loads more caffeine than coffee, so go on take away the coffee, I’m fine!! 🙂
Milk tea > coffee
Speaking as a Sri Lankan
I’ve got ulcers in my mouth, and yesterday morning was 10x more painful, because the coffee made the area excited!?, and my cheeks felt really sore till I got home. So I lowered the amount of water and sugar in my coffee, and took it like a shot.. Today was fine.. ulcers still suck, but my cheeks were not that excited because of the load I took. Great success.
Tea always makes me nauseous for some reason, while coffee is no problem even on an empty stomach
Poor alternate timeline Admiral Janeway. 🙁
I did this a few years ago. When you make green tea strong enough to hit like coffee it really hits.
Also its extremely good for you.
Reading this as I sip on my morning green tea
🤣🤣🤣🤓
Ha!
Some of us like green tea
I love green tea, but it’s my afternoon go-to. Mornings are for a nice black Breakfast Blend brewed extra strong.
Yes, this is funny.
Thank you.
“If you give up drinking, smoking and sex, you dont live longer. It just seems like it.”
What weight?
89% of zero is still zero! ….but I’ll keep the coffee thanks.
Doesn’t work for me. Caffeine doesn’t work that great on me, at least not in the amounts you find in coffee. And taste wise I’d prefer green tea to coffee any day.
But if I need to wake up I’d rather go with some really dark pu’er tea, or pu’er resin. Or gaba oolong
I have it on good authority that switching to white tea makes that 95%.
That’s true!!
Jokes like this makes me glad I always thought coffee smells and tastes like shit.
This reminds me of the Frozen Yogurt/Ice Cream bit from The Good Place
“There’s something so human about taking something and ruining it a little so you can have more of it.”
I was about to start taking notes
I tried this but it made me throw up. I don’t eat breakfast and google said the tannins in tea can irritate an empty stomach. I’m scared to try it again so i’ve been adding L-theanine to my coffee to simulate.
I like your dad!
Tom Hanks said in an interview if a doctor ever told him he couldn’t have coffee he would say “I appreciate your opinion but im going to find a new doctor.”
Your dad should have thought about how joyless this life is before he made you.
Green tea made me feel funny vs coffee. I think maybe I react poorly to the L-theanine.

I’m jealous of people who like tea because every tea I’ve ever given the chance just tastes awful, unless you proceed to then make it unhealthy by adding honey milk sugar etc… can’t drink tea “black” like I can coffee
