Coffee or tea: Which beverage fuels your mornings?

by
We're having a small discussion in our office about this. The majority is part of the coffee-empire but a small group of tea-rebels is fiercely defending their opinion. What about you?

love coffee.. but i feel regular drinking isn't good for productivity
Lukas Rüger
@xeno1 What exactly do you mean? That you get used to it or that it's too much of an effect?
Ruslan.D
@lrueger it affects my tempo .. it accelerate me at first, but has slow down aftereffect without coffee i have more stable tempo ..
Lukas Rüger
@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
Ruslan.D
@lrueger ooh evening coffee threatens me with insomnia ))
Surekha S
Coffee for early mornings
Lukas Rüger
@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 😑
Björn
@slimmy82 sorry to hear that. So it’s tea or do you skip this ceremony at all?
Ahmed Mobin
I am from a country where the average person drinks 2-5 cups of tea per day, which is the exact amount I drink in an entire year.
Lukas Rüger
@ahmed_mobin Hahaha, you're an outlier then. Where are you from?
Ahmed Mobin
@lrueger Pakistan
@ahmed_mobin I know tea is popular, but how about coffee. It it very common to drink coffee in Pakistan?
Ahmed Mobin
@slimmy82 Tea is more common here in Pakistan. But some people love coffee.
@ahmed_mobin got it. I was just curious
Bhavya Barot
A glass of water and lemonade ☺️
Lukas Rüger
@bhavya_barot First alternative that makes sense to me!
@bhavya_barot that’s unique but I admire that. For what reason? Health?
Bhavya Barot
@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 got it!! That’s smart!
@bhavya_barot don't you need the morning kick that the coffee gives you?
Edena
I prefer tea.
@edena what type of tea?
Edena
@slimmy82 right now it's earl grey 😊
@edena nice! Very creamy
Ashley from Shadow
Coffee (or more importantly caffeine) gives me that extra kick but in terms of my health tea is 10000000x better. Any recommendations for alternatives?
Lukas Rüger
@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?
Ashley from Shadow
@alessio_mavica it gives me the jitters 🫨
Coffee! To get its maximum effect, I drink it 90-120 minutes after I wake up!
Lukas Rüger
@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.
Lukas Rüger
@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!
