I like both! I have ready so many articles and opinions as to which is healthier or better for you? I am not sure I have a preference. Sooo any thoughts??

    It used to be all about coffee for me. Since I gave up soda, I first did flavored waters, which are good, but then it got cold so I needed something hot besides cocoa and even more coffee, so tea happened. I now drink more tea lol. Still love coffee in the morning, but give me a good black tea or with some cinnamon, or unsweetened chai....yum! I like peppermint tea when I'm sick

    Don't know. But I love a morning cup of coffee....something about even 1/2 decaf being a pick me up and way to start the day but I love a daily evening cup of tea....something about how it is warm and comforting and soothing or relaxing after a long busy day.

    Neither is bad for you, so drink what you prefer. If you put cream or sugar in either, just make sure you log it and that they fit in your daily goals. It depends on the day which I will have.

    I love coffee. I try to watch my intake because caffeine gives me the jitters, so once I've had 2 cups in a day I switch to ginger and lemon tea. It is so not the same :'(

    I hardly ever drink coffee, unless I dump some instant coffee granules into my hot chocolate for that "coffee kick"... I LOVE all kinds of teas, and drink four or more cups of different teas/infusions per day!

    I drink both. I have to have my coffee in the morning, but I will have tea later on in the day if I want something hot.

    I try to limit myself to one cup of black coffee in the morning, then tea for the rest of the day. I prefer coffee, but too much makes me feel tired and crabby by the afternoon.

    coffee in the morning. when I've had three mugs of that i switch to herbal (usually peppermint) tea or water. i sometimes have another mug of coffee at night and add coconut oil or heavy cream, depending on my macros.

    I love both. I drink what ever I'm in the mood for. I don't add anything to either so I don't worry about it,

    I was suffering with heart palpitations in an evening and thought I was having a heart attack, it was real scary.

    I went to the docs who told me to come off all tea/coffee/caffeine products. Ive been off them for two weeks now and haven't had one episode.

    So at the moment I would kill for a coffee ... :s

    Your biggest concern is whether coffee or tea is healthier? Really? REAALLYY?

    I'm another coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon person. It's just a mental thing, my mind likes smelling and brewing espresso first thing in the morning to wake me up. And in the afternoon if I don't want more caffeine I do a decaf herbal tea instead.

    Drink what you like. They both have purported health benefits. IMO the more important benefit is psychological.

    Coffee for me, by the way, all day every day.
