Im a dark tea guy myself. I dont like the taste of coffee. I will die if I dont have caffeine in the morning......and afternoon..............and night......
i do this as well sometimes(pop an energy cap). also a B-Complex sublingual liquid will give you that little spurt of energy needed to get you started; good for mid-day fatigue as well!
i'm not much of a coffee/tea drinker. i do however down those MONSTER energy drinks, love them, actually i'm a bit addicted to them.
