Coffee to speed up.
Tea to slow down.

Most definitely tea, whether it be Earl Grey, Jasmine, Mint, Oolong, Japanese Green, Barley (Mugi Cha), Orange, Licorice, or Chinese Restraunt blend, nothing beats a nice hot cup of tea on a cold day.

    I'm limited to de-caf coffee since 1 doctor banned black tea & another banned caffeine.  I do miss drinking black tea.  I'm discovering which green & white teas I can drink.  I tend to avoid most herb teas, since I'm allergic to camomile, a common ingredient in many herb teas.

A tea of coffee would be quite weak as simply steeping ground coffee does not provide proper extraction.

A good Espresso first thing in the morning doesn't so much blow the cobwebs away as Dynamite the bloody things.
I simply can't think straight when I have too much blood in my caffeine stream.
Ergo,coffee every time for me.

To deny either avenue for caffeine ingestion strikes me as the greatest folly since Dr. Jekyll opened his mix-your-own smoothie stand.

Coffee is not a drink, it is a religion.  It is my one serious vice, and I cherish it.   If my doctor told me that for health reasons, I had to give up alchohol I would say "Oh damn, I liked beer.", and I would have similar reactions to giving up chocolate, sugar, etc.   But if he told me that I had to give up coffee, we would have a serious difference of opinion, maybe even bloodshed.

I grind my own carefully selected beans in a good quality burr grinder, and use filtered water in my coffeemaker, which was the top rated model on coffeegeek.com.  And on Monday mornings, I need it more than I need my blood. 

Coffee good.

Tea definitely.  Coffee tastes too oily to me.  I like things coffee flavoured, though.

Both, tea to unwind before bed, coffee to relax with, and a quad shot of espresso to wind up with.  Delicious stuff but the cups they serve it in are far too tiny.

One cup of French vanilla coffee in the morning to get going, but for the rest of the day it's usually Earl Grey tea, black with honey.

And a nice pot of rose tea (black tea with rose petals mixed in) during the middle of the day or in the evenings to relax and feel civilized.
