CoJ intervention

Congrats on the new baby!

My wife did the same thing 2 or 3 months ago.....just announced one day that she was sick of coffee, couldn't stand it any more, and was switching to tea.  I've been a bit more careful around her.....seeing how fast that hammer fell.

Same thing happened to me several months ago. I just don't like it anymore. It's shame, I've got some very nice coffee that is going bad.

Go find yourself a local loose leaf tea shop. Get yourself a Beehouse pot, or a travel mug to make your own on-the-go. So many varieties out there, and it's so cheap! You can get so many flavors to suit your mood. 2-4oz of tea lasts a long time, especially if you buy 5-10 flavors at at time!

I recognize the words as English, but this sentence makes no sense whatsoever...

lol, that was my first thought as well.  

to the OP, i see this as a good thing.  I don't drink coffee and never have.  I save a ton of money.  

Is it ironic that this is posted in CoJ?

Sorry to hear of your 'issue', OP.  I do enjoy a cup of tea now and again, but I sure hope I don't catch what you have.

Ha ha, that would completely freak me out but no, highly unlikely at this point in my life . Although both of my sisters had surprises in their 40's!  But for us - it would literally have to be a miracle.

As far as the money aspect goes, I don't regularly buy Starbucks. I was given a gift card so it was kind of a treat. If I'm not drinking coffee I will switch to tea so I don't think I will be saving any money! 

I tried green tea the other day but spent the entire day dragging tired and yawning. Taste verses the caffeine pick me up - I'll take the caffeine for now I guess. Although I read black tea has more caffeine so I may give that a try. 

Thanks for the links! Lots of cool stuff for tea drinkers. I may get one of those travel mugs for our family Christmas gift exchange. Maybe a tea/coffee/hot cocoa  basket combo so there is something for everyone.

Embrace the tea!

I prefer the way tea wakes me up compared to coffee plus it's easier on my gut. Coffee tends to have a short peak/crash cycle whereas tea is a nice gentle climb with sustain.

Ok, this did make my mouth water for GOOD coffee. Unfortunately I live in a rural area - no Trader Joes, Whole Foods or Target! I can always search the internet though.

It may be too late, tea again today......

I tried some black tea today and that was a nice wake me up without the jitters. I had a second cup at about 9:00 and almost immediately after I finished it my stomach started flipping and I had to run to the bathroom! I had a stomach ache the rest of the afternoon. Go figure.

But, I added a little Truvia to the tea. Maybe it was that and not the tea at all? I always drink my coffee black.

Could have been the culprit... I always drink tea and coffee (when I do drink it) black. I usually have two cups of tea each morning unless I'm so busy I don't notice my cup is empty

My wife, who is Starbuck's best customer, has been switching over to tea.  I think it is just a rebellious phase and is nothing to worry about.

I drink a lot of coffee but use the Keurig at home and my favorite is a Kona blend of course. 

Glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking that!  That's exactly what happened to me when I was early in my pregnancy.

Sorry OP.

That's probably it.

What kind of black tea are you drinking? Get some flavored loose leaf and you won't need sweetener! Earl Grey, lavender, my huband likes the fruit: ginger, ginger peach, apricot, pomegranate, etc. etc. ENDLESS!

I just went with some lame old lipton's black tea. I had caramel vanilla in my hand but I was afraid I wouldn't like it so went with the plain stuff. Anyway, no truvia today and no speedy trip to the bathroom!

Now that just cracked me up .
