Green Tea, Yerba Mate, and Coffee

The wife likes green tea. So do I. Nobody I have ever met likes yerba mate except me. Its' referred to as "dirt tea" in my house. That's what it tastes like, insists everyone who's tried it.

Coffee: Now there's a drink. I love coffee. Fresh ground, fresh brewed pot of delight. But, since I've been drinking too much of it lately, I've been cutting back.

So, it's green tea this morning, then maybe some mate or coffee later.

Mate is, interestingly enough, a drop in coffee substitute for most people, which means you can wean yourself off coffee using the milder mate, and eventually drop any caffienated beverages entirely.

I make the tea and mate in the coffee maker anyway.

I am sure I'll become a bit more comprehensible as soon as some kind of stimulant hits the brain.

I didn't think there was such a thing as to much coffee. How much would that be in your case?

Two full strong pots before noon. When I start to feel really weird and buzzy.
