For me it's hot or cold tea. Tea is worlds most popular herbal remedy. Anice cup of tea may give you more than just a morning lifet. Especially the green tea popular in the Orient, may have benifiacial actions against heart disease and cancer. Tea contains several stimulant compunds, including caffeine and Theophyline.Both Caffeine and Theophylline act as bronchialators agents that can helpopen clogged respiratory passages. There's no firm evidence that caffeine in moderation poses any risk to most people, although in excess, it can cause jitters and insomia.Moderate drinking of tea doeas no harm to the heart and may do something good.Tea is also found that it is a mild diuretic,helping to rid the body of excess fluid.

I take occasionally coffee or tea as too much caffeine gives me the palpitations while esp.Chinese tea gives me the diuretic effects. I prefer to take hot cacao or chocolate drink instead. And I love it on a cool day and on evenings curling up with a good book
It is so soothing and great feeling to unwind on the end of a day.
Cheers,

I don't usually drink tea or coffee.
Well, I don't like regular coffee, but I love the instant 'International Coffees' that come in the little cans.
My favorite is the 'Hazelnut Belgian Cafe'.
I usually have a cup of that every morning.
If I'm out of that, then I have hot chocolate.
