Coffee. I love coffee-flavored yogurt (The dannon kind) and I love putting milk in coffee (making it turn tan) then dunking Lorna Doone shortbread cookies in it. YUMMY!

About 6 cups of strong black coffee a day, all before noon.
One cup of English tea in the evening.

Tea and Coffee have roughly equal caffeine levels.

That being said I'm a coffee lover. I drink only Arabica-bean coffee's and can tell you where a coffees beans are from by taste alone.

Tea, coffee etc contain unique blends of xanthine alkaloids including caffiene. AFAIK tea has greater emphasis on theophylline, cocoa has more theobromine & coffee & cola have a more sraighforward caffiene profile. This accounts for the differing effects they produce.

Also tea contains http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theanine
L-Theanine and is said to cause relaxation which would clearly
reduce the effects of xanthine alkaloids. Regardless if its
the L-theanine, lowwer levels of caffiene or different mix of xanthines a typical cup of tea is a far weaker stimulant than a typical cup of coffee.
