The reason why tea drinkers appear calmer is because tea (as in from Camellia Sinensis plant - the actual real tea) has L-Theanine in it, which is a relaxing, anti-depressive, calming amino acid that works in synergy with caffeine that gives you alertness, but that alertness is more gradual and calmer, and weens off slower as well, avoiding the crash. I used to be an avid coffee drinker but as life has become more stressful, adding even more to that stress started to feel counter productive. My drink of choice at home now is always black or green tea, and I will drink coffee only when: 1) I REALLY need that jolt (like waking up very early) 2) Socially once in a while. For me, it has become not a regular drink, but an "occasional" drink so to say. I think Coffee is great when taken for when you really need it. But a lot of people would benefit from going to tea for their go-to drink at home.
I always drank tea, switched and became a coffee addict in 2017. I only drank coffee...I quit nearly 2 weeks ago, returning to tea, reducing caffeine intake by about 70% in the process too. Now I feel very calm, clearer headed, easy to concentrate, no anxiety/stress, shoulders are relaxed, sleeping very well. I'm very glad I switched back and kicked the addictive cycle of coffee...it is a false friend, false energy.
I'm right there with you.🍵 To each his own, but personally I find it calming to start my work day with a cup of decaf green tea or vanilla chai, then invigorating to have a cup of matcha tea in the afternoon after lunch to reenergize myself and to then end my night with a cup of self soothing stress therapy tea, which is a flavorful blend of lavender, cinnamon and chamomile.🍵🫖😌 Like coffee, no two teas are alike so it's always best to experiment with which ones are most enjoyable and beneficial to you.💛
LSD never took much in Cuba, a dose taken after a Cuban double expresso could be the factor. Then there's Santa Cruz, California mountain hippies & bikers. Neil Young knows. So does Mari in Watsonville & her Café de Olla. Jangling? Is that like Cumbia
I’ve been off regular coffee for over a week now, been drinking either mushroom coffee (much less caffeine) or green tea. I have ADHD and am a massive overthinker. Since off it, I haven’t felt any anxiety or felt like my brain was racing a 100 miles a second. I feel like an absolutely changed person.
Yeah it can mess with your circadian rhythms in terms of energy stability. One cup every so often surely becomes a cup a day, then two cups a day, and boom you’re a fiend looking for your next hit
It can be attractive for addictive personalities for sure but I think tea is more habitual ritual than it is actually addictive by itself. Plus majority of teas have various health benefits so net positive imo. Go without for a day or two you might itch for it but it’s not intense withdrawals like coffee where you feel utterly useless unless you have a cup
I agree with all of this. I drink matcha lattes and Yerba Mate mixed with chai lattes. No coffee for me but I MUST have my caffeine in the form of tea!
Colonial America had British influence, so Colonial Americans drank tea. After the American Revolution, drinking tea was considered “unpatriotic” and the early Americans switched to coffee, hence the coffee culture. But I think we’ve come a long way after 2 centuries. Time to bring back tea!
coffee with cocoa is for me tea with some milk also yummy my day starts with a cup in hand a smile and a buddy, my demand coffee it wasn't u i looked forward to
I drink both no crash ..it's the overbearing caffeine like for Expresso or over..and I don't relate to to what issues caused I'm mellow 😂that's not related
know that me is my choice don't find yourself dragged in i am found once again but ive always been lost Don't get attached to anyone or anything, that if it were taken away, it would cause you depression. Someone we know said. I wouldn't change a thing. thats a sad thing to say to begin with be attached just not chained
I know I would take my nutritional advice for someone who's 150 lb overweight actually coffee has tons of polyphenols and it can reduce fatty liver if if you drink it black
look ahead and not back dear person being anchored is being chained a choice in the end i know or i don't the choice is my own had u been anyone else i wouldn't be writing this im gonna get to work, be well and have a great day give a moment to the One that gave you the moment to begin with
Ohhhh noooo😳 Real healthy organic coffee, brewed properly absolutely does not bring those behaviors. It’s all the mold, and chemicals in badly processed coffee that gives coffee a bad rap❤️
