I thought I drank way too much tea but reading this thread maybe I’m not so bad!
Recently switched to mostly decaf tea after some health & heart issues.
I always have a large caffeinated tea in the morning
and usually a latte mid morning.
Then maybe 4 cups of decaf afternoon/ evening and sometimes one may be a peppermint or green tea.
So a total of around 6 on average! It probably used to be more though.

Honestly I don’t understand my bladder. I can drink tea and soft drinks all day and be fine but one glass of water has me peeing twice an hour. What is that all about jeez.

So about 6 mugs of tea a day for me.

At least 8 cups of coffee a day, often more, and do not recommend.

Tea- none! I do not like the smell and I certainly do not like the taste. My mother once said that if I didn't look so much like her, she would have assumed that she had picked the wrong child up from the hospital due to my intense dislike of tea!

Coffee is a rarity... only to be polite, e.g. in a meeting, or if someone has bought me one without consulting me.

If I have to have a hot drink, I'd prefer hot chocolate, but it's usually cold drinks all the way here.

None. Tea is horrible, as is coffee. I do make a decent tea though according to Dd and DH.😅

supercrone · Today 10:26

About 2 cups of tea and 2/3 coffees

Jk987 · Today 10:17

3 cups of tea. Don’t like coffee.

2 cups of tea a day in the morning. A cup
of coffee maybe once every month in a cafe but never at home. After the morning only drink water ( or wine!) so different to the days I would drink around four cups of tea and a whole pot of coffee

Swissmeringue · Today 10:04

Usually 2 coffees, 2 shots of espresso in each. No tea.

Pregnant at the minute so one coffee, usually single shot.

LittleGreenShoots · Today 09:55

1-2 coffees about 4 cups of tea. I couldn't stand either when I was pregnant though - the smell even turned my stomach at the time. It was so hard keeping myself hydrated those months without them!

Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice · Today 09:54

2 x coffees in the morning.

Usually a 3rd coffee, a matcha or a pot of herbal tea after lunch.

Chemenger · Today 09:50

One coffee in the morning, no tea but a few mint or ginger teas through the day. I used to drink coffee all day but can’t do that now if I want to sleep at night.

topcat2014 · Today 09:50

Probably 10 decent half pint mugs of decaf instant coffee a day

Olderbutt · Today 09:49

5 to 7 mugs of tea a day, coffee 1 or 2 a week. Plus about 2 to 4 litres of water

D1nnerthyme · Today 09:47

It varies but at the moment usually two cups of caffeinated coffee a day before lunch with a splash of whole milk, no sugar. Sometimes another decaff later in the day. I almost never (maybe once a year) drink tea other than herbal tea which I drink pretty much daily.

AnitaCam · Today 09:46

Two mugs of coffee first thing. Then tea all day, four mugs maybe. Then herb tea of various types after dinner.

PatioDwellers · Today 09:44

God so much tea. 2/3 big mugs of caffeine tea before I leave the house. Then about another 8 decaf during the day and evening.

I have coffee if I’m away as otherwise I get caffeine withdrawal, so a couple of cups of coffee in the day to make up for not having so much tea ….( tea tends to be crap abroad) .

SidekickSylvia · Today 09:44

About 12 mugs of tea a day, no coffee. I go through about a pint of whole milk each day just with tea.
Coffee made me nauseous during my first pregnancy and I haven't been able to drink it since, and eldest child was about 15 yrs old before I could even tolerate the smell.

Fallstar · Today 09:39

8-10 cups of black coffee a day, around half of them decaf. No sugar. Plus 2 litres of water. Maybe a cup of black or green tea once a week. Don't drink anything else.

InfoSecInTheCity · Today 09:35

Far too much coffee. Been up since 6.30 and I’m on my 4th cup already

DemBonesDemBones · Today 09:35

1-2 coffees, 5-8 teas. Too much!

Fifthtimelucky · Today 09:34

None of either!

3 litres?
That's quite a strain for your kidneys, plus an increased risk for kidney stones.

Where do you get that idea from?

MightyGoldBear · Today 07:55

Maybe one cup of tea a week to dip my biscuits into 😂 I don't drink it and its not every week.

Girlintheframe · Today 07:55

Two coffees very occasionally three. No tea, had to give it up when I stopped drinking milk. Can’t stand the taste of black tea.
