Coffee or tea: Which beverage fuels your mornings?

@alessio_mavica I think for experiment I must try, maybe I will come up with the new idea of "Citrus Tea" :)

@ahmed_mobin Hahaha, you're an outlier then. Where are you from?

@ahmed_mobin I know tea is popular, but how about coffee. It it very common to drink coffee in Pakistan?

@psurekha_s Same, I need that caffeine first thing in the morning

@lrueger I used to, but I have low stomach acid so had to stop drinking coffee 😑

@slimmy82 sorry to hear that. So it’s tea or do you skip this ceremony at all?

@bhavya_barot that’s unique but I admire that. For what reason? Health?

@slimmy82 Water is to hydrate the body after sleep then lemonade is for the general health benefits i.e Vitamin C and boosting the immune system.

@bhavya_barot don't you need the morning kick that the coffee gives you?

@ashley_from_shadow I know a lot of people that take caffeine as small pills, but I guess that's not healthier haha

@ashley_from_shadow I used to have coffee, but low stomach acid makes me only be able to drink tea

@lrueger woah, caffeine pills?? That’s a thing?

@ashley_from_shadow why do you think caffeine is not good for health?

@xeno1 What exactly do you mean? That you get used to it or that it's too much of an effect?

@lrueger it affects my tempo .. it accelerate me at first, but has slow down aftereffect without coffee i have more stable tempo ..

@xeno1 Yeah I totally see that. Towards the evening to me it sometimes feels like my heart is racing at 200 bpm but my head is just as tired as before

@bahar_ozkan Very scientific, what's the reason for that?

@lrueger Waiting 90-120 minutes to drink coffee after waking up aligns with the body's natural circadian rhythm. Cortisol, the "stress hormone," peaks in the first hour after waking, making the body naturally alert. Delaying coffee consumption allows cortisol levels to decrease, enhancing the impact of caffeine on alertness and energy.

@bahar_ozkan Damn, good to know! Reading this while drinking my 2nd cup of the day - the first one was right after waking up haha Gotta try this out, thanks for sharing the info!

@edena what type of tea?

@lnguyen Why though? :D

@crystal_j that's a great routine! Any wine in particular?

@emilyhunkler American long coffee or espresso?

@alessio_mavica Oh they both have their place! I love a long coffee with milk (pour-over is my preferred method) in the morning. I enjoy having that mug by my side for the first couple hours 😍 How about you?

@alessio_mavica @emilyhunkler I'm surprised people still state their opinion here haha. But you're seen! I also need coffee in the morning - the afternoon and everything after that switches almost every day :)
