Just tried Coke Zero for the first time. Not my cup of tea, so to speak (sorry, pdurrant).
That's OK. It's no doubt an acquired taste.

Coke Zero #1 in my cup.

For shame... for shame....

There are four 'main' Black teas... Keemun, Darjeeling, Assam, and Ceylon.
Within each of these main types there are many sub-varieties.

Uva is THE best of the Ceylon teas. High grown Uva is the best of the best! Grown in the Uva district, Eastern Sri Lanka, it has larger leaves, does best with very hot water and 4-5 minutes steep times.

You have mastered the Green teas, Grasshopper. It's time to learn more of the Blacks!

I agree... to a point. I believe that most of the generic 'hotel teas' such as Lipton, Salada, Red Rose, etc., are made from the orange pekoe and pekoe cut black grades of the lower grown Ceylons.

But once you start going up the hill (about 2,000 meters,) and get teas harvested between June and September, the tea develops flavors not even suggested by its cousins in the valleys below. Trust me...

Try it. You'll like it.

Diet pepsi for lack of coke zero, no time to shop.
Have to make myself pretty for a birthday party this afternoon, there is a lot of work . Will wear a cocktail dress, which is a shame since I need to stop at the site (for the 3rd time today ) on my way out.
Today, I menaced one of the guys to come back home tonight with his cojones on a necklace. We sure are progressing

2nd mug of decaf coffee.

After a number of palpitations, lack of sleep and general shakes in the evening, I have decided to go cold-turkey on normal coffee, and have only been drinking decaffeinated for the last 3 weeks. After initial bad headaches (not surprising, as I've been drinking huge quantities of the stuff for about a hundred years), I am finding I am feeling a lot better (no evening shakes). Main problem now is that I do fall asleep at the drop of a hat, and keep missing the end of TV programmes and films...

I used to drink gallons of normal coffee every day. I had to go decaf cold turkey b/c of a new prescription medication. Aside from the withdrawal headaches, I would fall soundly asleep every day at 3 pm at my desk - quite embarrassing! And then fall asleep after dinner. And watching TV.
Take lots of walks! It helps!

Yikes.

Are you avoiding all caffeine or can you slip in a mug or two of good tea? Tea has less caffeine then coffee so you can get a bit of a caffeine fix.

Or try a rooibos or Yerba Matte. Rooibos has non-caffeine based stimulants and Yerba Matte has some caffeine but other stimulants that somehoe balance out the caffeine.

Roasted Mate
Quote:
Very popular in Brazil. Could be served pure or with a dash of milk and sugar. The infusion has a very pleasant taste and is a little reminiscent of coffee.
My BH likes it (she used to like coffee).
