Most Chinese in China might prefer tea to start a day, some American might prefer coffee. There are certain country that drink a lot of tea, and some drink a lot ceffee. I personally prefer to have coffee to start my day. How about you?

Hi ricven, nice to know you too. Thanks for the response. Ya, water can make us much healthier in lot of ways.. But i think both coffee and tea can make us healthier too. Green tea is a good anti-oxidant, while a cup of coffee everyday can benefit our health and protect us from serious illness. Cheers =)

I would prefer coffee than tea.. perhaps coffee might make me awake for my early lessons.. but it turned out to be different from what i thought, in fact, after drinking coffee it makes me more sleepy.. haha

Hi lamester, you sure you were taking coffee? lol, I'm joking, maybe the caffeine works the other way round for you. As what i know, when we have coffee, it tends to make our heart beat so fast, it never make me sleepy, just nervous. But when i climbed up staircase, my heart beat so fast and i'm kinda feel sleepy, or whenever I'm nervous and got presentation to do, I also feel sleepy. haha.. Maybe it just the psychological things. Have a nice day..

I'm a Chinese, my work day stars with a cup of hot coffee, only one cup, then I will take several cups of tea in the rest day. Personally I believe that tea is more healthy than coffee.

Hi croamer, thanks for sharing. I also think that tea is much healthier than coffee. I limit myself maximum two cups of coffee, but usually i just have one cup, during my breakfast. I never limit myself for tea. As what the Chinese say, most tea can release the heat in our body, I'm not sure how to put it in words. happy mylotting ;)

Hi yogambal, thanks for sharing. I do have the same routine like you. A hot cup of coffee is a must every morning. I regularly have tea in the evenings, i prefer green tea and flavored tea, tangerine tea. I can't have tea before my sleep, else I will have a hard time to rest my eyes. Happy mylotting

Hi smartboy, thanks for sharing.I never like black coffee, it's bitter and never taste good for me. But a lot of people addicted to strong black coffee. Do you ever try flavored coffee, latte or mocha? I like it very much. There is something called tea-coffee, the Chinese called it yin-yang, i enjoyed it too. Have you ever try yin-yang, maybe you will like it? Have a nice day, and happy mylotting..

I am more of a coffee person than a tea person. I usually drink coffee in the morning after waking up and sometimes in the afternoon snacks when the weather is cold. I only drink hot tea when I am sick and I drink iced tea at times when I eat in resto with lunch or snack food.

I prefer drinking milk to start the day but if I had to choose between coffee or tea, I'll choose tea. I love the creamy sweetness of coffee even though I don't drink it too often because of the caffeine

I also limit myself from drinking too much coffee because of the caffeine. Even there were studies that shown evidence that consumption of coffee will not increase the risk of high blood pressure. And caffeine have been know to have a short life span in our body. It is also believed that our body can become tolerant to the stimulant effects of the caffeine stimulant. But, there is also a study indicate that a lifelong consumption of caffeine can have a significant impact on heart disease and stroke. Sigh.. I think it is still better to drink less coffee, and drink more water.. Haha.. Happy mylotting =)

I have almost 22 ,and i didn`t used to drink coffe in the morning but tea... there are some mornings when i drink tea, but not every day . I drink a lot of tea, but the most i drink when i`m a little ill , because the hot tea really helps me get rid of some illness . I really love to drink tea . Coffer just when i really need to stay awake, and even then , for me coca -cola has a better effect than coffe . I almost forgot . Coffe i drink , or i eat ( without water ) when my stomach it`s not feeling so good .. you know what i mean

Ya, me too. I used to drink coffee to keep me stay awake, but i never feel any effect in drinking coca cola. Hot tea also good to make us feel better whenever i'm not feel well, or when I'm too full from the dinner. Haha.. I never know how to eat coffee, is it coffee bean you mean?

I love tea now, before coffee. But, when i learn the many benefits of drinking teas I become the avid fans of teas. I drink different tea with different flavors ranging from green, black, red, white and ice cold teas..Teas is good anti-oxidant and protect us against diseases.

Definatley prefer tea, in the UK we are all pretty big tea drinkers. I do like coffee but its just a little too strong for me and too much of a shock to the system drinking it first thing in the morning when you have just woken up. I usually like to have a milky coffee, latte or cappucino in the afternoon.

I am a tea drinker. I prefer to drink tea in the morning. I also drink it at night to help me go to sleep. I only drink coffee when it is necessary. If I need to be awake for any reason, becase the tea always make me want to sleep. The best thing I would say is to drink water. It is better for you to drink hot water. I have learned that from the chinese. Hey you are chinese. Is that true.

Wow.. tea help you to go to sleep? As for me, i don't think caffeine in the tea good enough to keep me stay awake all day long, but it's good enough to keep me awake while I want to sleep at night. Yes it is, hot lukewarm water is good for our health, compare to other carbonate drinks. I am Chinese, when I'm staying with family, we have tea for our breakfast, when I'm staying by myself, I'll go for coffee. Thanks for sharing. happy mylotting =)
