   Tea is a way to go. Either after or before food. Only drink  1 cup of coffee in the morning. You should check out my hub about tea. Got very simple recipe for tea.

   It is all about preference.
   
   I really thought that tea was more suitable to be consumed after dinner however I just recently got back from Paris and I dined at a lot of Michelin star restaurants and they did not even offer tea after dinner, so that was definitely surprising.
   
   I am a total tea drinker, mainly iced tea, I wish i liked coffee, but I can just not get myself to enjoy it

   Before food , if we take tea or coffee, it will affect your intake of food amount. Any body is there to share their experience on this.

    I remind myself. My forum post was
    
    Which is advisable? Taking cofee or tea after food or before food? which is mostly recommeded or practised?
    
    But we are going around the preferences of coffee and tea.

    Taking water before food is helpful to reduce the acidity level. After food , it interferes with digestion. But here we are talking about the hot drinks (tea, coffee)

    Personally, I dont like "coffee" , but I love flavored cappuccino and I do drink alot of iced tea, whenI lived with my grandma, I drank hot tea with her daily, but I have not had a hot cup of tea in quite a lng time..I do drink about a gallon of iced tea every few days or so, it has to be southern style sweetened for me to really enjoy it.I also like Chai, does that count?

    Sometimes I need coffee (which is a worry in itself) and I do enjoy tea (white, no sugar). Another sneaky favourite is peppermint and there's a spearmint and chamomile one that is great for bedtime.

    Coffee at least 3 pots a day plus 2 cups from my Keurig single server. A great little single serve brewer if your looking. I think the pods are too strong though and make my own with a pod maker accessory. Cheaper that way too.

    I drink more coffee than tea. But, I do drink both. Coffee or Tea, depending on preference of the individual really.
    
    I can have coffee or tea, with breakfast.
    
    I can have coffee or tea, after any meal.
    
    I drink tea if I want to warm myself up. Coffee doesn't do it.

    coffee is always better at breakfast, because it makes you more alert to face the rest of the day.
    Tea is more of a way for relaxing, especially Chai Tea or Chamomile Tea, to make you more relaxed   BB

    It's highly recommended and advised to have coffee after food only but small amount bcz coffee helps the digestion system while tea is really harmful since it absorbs the minerals from your meal... But if you have too, have green teas only and 1 hour at least after food. This should vitalize you and bon appetite smile

    I like to drink coffee while I study, and I will drink tea in the evening, usually after dinner. I have long felt that reading concentration is enhanced by a bit of caffeine - but this might be a placebo effect rather than something real.

       I have read in Food-Your Miracle Medicine book studies have shown that caffeine does counteract the mental slump you feel after dinner and many people (the book states particularly Europeans), will follow a meal with a cup of coffee for that very reason.

    Hi avangeud
    
    happy new year.I think , like chain smokers , we do find chain drinkers (only coffee or tea); I do not know how they are called. Anyway coffee or tea drinking activates or recharges the brain, make them refresh.
