From the lens Healthy Alternatives to Coffee.

What is your best Tea or Coffee tip? I often buy exotic teas but then end up not finishing them.

    I prefer tea - herbal tea or ginger tea for that matter. A lot of useful information. Thanks for sharing.

    I love Yerba Mate, but it's hard to find in the UK. I grew to like it while working in Paraguay, where everyone drinks it all day long and very sweet. It's a different taste, but once you like it very addictive. Best drunk using a traditional Calabas and Pipe.

    These are some good alternatives, though i love coffee at times it becomes too boring to have the same thing.

    During summer, I'll take a gallon jar and put a few raspberry tea bags in it, add cold water, and let it sit for a day. Sometimes I'll add a few mint leaves from the lawn. YUMMY! :)

    Nice lens! Oh... one more thing. I was having trouble with Yerba Mate until I realized "Less is More..." In other words, I was using too much! It made for a bitter tea. I cut back to about a teaspoon for a couple of cups, and it's much easier to enjoy now!

    Don't drink caffeine after a high fat meal (even though that's what we want to do!). Studies show that it will spike your blood sugar level up to unsafe levels!

    I'd go for a drink that has ginseng in it. It makes me feel young. Ginseng is such a great plant.

    There are some emerging new coffee companies that are incorporating healthier substances into our coffee brew, like high antioxidant ingredients. check out this, a new company not yet launched; reserveyourcup.com/glaude

    Useful stuff. I am learning from your lenses. Also, other than these healthy beverages, we need to consider vitamins and supplements that will even more keep us strong and healthy like magnesium supplements.

    Somehow, I didn't rate this the last time I was here or it just vanishe.

    You certainly have presented a lot of alternatives to coffee here. I'm not quite ready for a "Pepper Smoothie" to start the day, wowzers, talk about a waker upper! My sister often send me an assortment of teas and recently I fell in love with an orange herbal tea by Tazo. When I first got it, I looked forward to going to bed so I could wake up and have it in the morning.

    A friend of mine has mentioned that my love for coffee could have been the reason why the bones on my hips weakened. That resulted in me in the need to have a hip replacement. I'm now worried though from all the news about the possibility of a DePuy Pinnacle Recall. It's been noted to cause metal toxicity in some patients.

    We keep lots of different flavored teas on hand for guests. My latest find is a chocolate tea, and it's pretty good with a touch of cream.

    I like any kind of coffee, really. Tea is good, but I don't care for any that are bitter. I had no idea that there are so many alternatives for coffee. Thanks for sharing.

    I am deeply in love with coffee, but for my mom who is on a healthy raw foods treatment, your lens content is of a great help.

    I like both coffee and tea, definitely have to have one cup of strong coffee in the morning(usually adding a bit of cinnamon) my afternoon choice is green tea, but found Soy Coffee to my liking as well.

    I like your description of Yerba Mate. Hahaha. The problem is less apparent if you use the tea bags rather than the loose stuff. But if I drink a double cup of this stuff, I feel it. Rooibos is pretty tasty and the color of the red variety makes it even more interesting, but as I understand it, it's not related to green tea. I've tried cayenne "tea" and I understand it counters inflammation anywhere in the body. Not bad with sweetener added, either. I like to add a handful of goji berries to my green tea or rooibos. When the tea's finished, the berries can be eaten. They are very healthful in their own right. Great highly informative and interesting lens!

    Thanks Swisstoons for such a considered reply: I've started again on Rooibos especially evenings.

    I just found your lens. I like it a lot. Thanks for building it. Gave you a thumbs up.

    Try Suffuse Rooibos tea. It's naturally caffeine free but also very energizing. Very delicious!!
