A snappy little article by Marissa Mancini of the The Recorder, a student-produced publication of Central Connecticut State University, makes the case for black tea as a positive alternative to coffee. Not that any of us Javaheads would willingly give up our coffee fix, but there are times when we all feel like changing things up, aren't there? Absotootly.
According to the article--which, by the way, is pretty well researched for such a short piece--black tea has the caffeine you crave with the added benefit of being an effective de-stresser with high levels of antioxidants. Good stuff, eh?

Seriously, it's a very tiny thing--you'll be done reading it before your water even has a chance to boil.
I've developed a taste for many healthy things over the past few years, but tea just doesn't do it for me. The closest I get is chai, especially at Teavana...of course, then I usually just dump espresso in it!
I think it's the lack of body compared to coffee.
