I myself love both tea and coffee, just depends on the mood. What about you?
Are you a coffee drinker or tea drinker?
Happy Sunday!
hi girl , you have the BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER AWARD. Please check it out on my blog ^_^.
ReplyDeleteI know tea is good for me, but unfortunately my weakness is diet mountain dew.
ReplyDeleteI'm really starting to jump onto the tea bandwagon! But I didn't know about the black tea being as healthful as green. Good news!
ReplyDeleteI love both! Coffee in the morning and tea before bed. I'm from the south, so we definitely drink our fair share of tea : )
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of your blog and am really enjoying reading it!
I love tea especially 'teh tarik'.
ReplyDeleteHave you read my post on teh tarik?

Oh WOW, this is so clever - you have the most gorgeous site here and I had to stop by to leave this comment for you – and to say hello of course ! Your posts are creative and original and you have interesting pictures. It's all perfect ! Thank you for sharing your site and best wishes....
ReplyDeleteI love tea --especially green tea and Korean barley tea (does this count as white tea?). I don't drink tea as much, though, which is ironic considering that I live in Hong Kong! The occasional bubble tea doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a coffee person. I have to have it every morning or watch out! ROFL.. I love tea sometimes to relax. Especially when I was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Oh look at that list! bone builders? cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a green tea person until I discovered Jasmine tea. that I like. though when I'm seeking a caffeine boost I'm a coffee girl... looks like I should try to drink just a bit more tea though!
I am a tea drinker and enjoy at least 3 cups a day. I like black teas and green teas with black tea being the favorite. I enjoy an occasional cup of coffee but the caffeine makes me jittery if I have too much. Thanks for all the tea info.
ReplyDeleteGreat insight! Thanks. I love me some tea.
ReplyDeleteI am a coffee girl in the AM but I love a good cup of tea in the PM, especially when it's chilly outside! Didn't realize all of those awesome benefits, though! :)
ReplyDeleteI love tea! I'm drinking some as I read your posts...decaf since I'm pregnant :)
