I used to be a coffee drinker. I was raised on the stuff. Being up first in the morning meant I filled the electric pot and got it going. My mother did not emerge until the pot finished, some 20 minutes later. I started drinking it myself when I got my first job at the ski lift. We got hot drinks for free, and I was soon hooked. Some years later, I realized I wasn't really drinking coffee. I was lacing it with so much sugar and creme that it wasn't really coffee at all. I got headaches if I didn't get my fix, every couple hours, every day.
So, as a health benefit, I switched to tea. I began with Lipton, but soon experimented with all sorts of flavors. When I hit on the Earl Grey, that was it for me. It's a mild form of the English Breakfast Tea, laced with a bit of Bergamot which may be the reason it is palatable any time, day or night. I prefer Twinings, although I have used competitor's out of curiosity, or availability, I always go back to Twinings Earl Grey. I am definitely hooked again, but with no ill side effects. I generally drink 2 big mugs in the morning, yearn for more in late afternoon, and top of my evening the same way it began.
Try it. You'll like it.
