watch I love coffee as much as the next person, but tea will always remain my first true caffeinated love. After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. Whether its the tannins or the often purported effects of the antioxidants, I always feel better while drinking a nice hot cup of pekoe perfection. Unless of course I accidentally brew a cup and forget to drink it, only to subsequently experience the horror of finding its gone cold.
