Most of people are drinking tea or coffee at morning. In your opinion, is it custom or need or other reasons
I think that the drinking coffee or tea at morning became part of the tasks performed by a person every day.
I think it is just normal thing for people to take coffee or tea in the morning but some take it because of their weather
Dear Qazim.
I wouldn't survive without my morning coffee.
As much as I am an early bird, I find it difficult to the rapid adaptation to the modern life strain, as the traffic lines, the students' noisy crowd, and the difficult subject that I teach, and I have to rapidly adapt to a more alert state. The stimulating effect of coffee or tea, helps me adapt in a quicker time, to the alert motion that I need.
I wouldn't ever take coffee or tea after 3 pm. ( I don't adapt to the 5 o'clock tea, to avoid that stimulating effect of xanthines ).
The human body needs liquid and some nutrition, in the morning, after a long night. However, instead of water, milk, or any natural substance, coffee or tea is taken, I think, more as a habit and an addiction.
Regards
Dear Qasim Mohammed,
I learned to better healthy habit than coffee and tea in the morning. For several months I drink on an empty stomach 4 x 160ml of water. Only after 45 minutes one can eat and drink (e.g. coffee). It's an old Japanese custom/habit which I learned, among others from Professor Noritomo Tasaki from Japan. So far I started the day with coffee. Now water...
Dear Qasim Mohammed Hussein,
It is believed that one cup of coffee a day can reduce the risk of skin cancer by 11%. In addition, the researchers report that consumption of natural coffee reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 56%, especially in women. Men who regularly drink coffee have a lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease, according to a recent study. In addition, people who regularly consume two to four cups of organic coffee a day are less likely to develop heart disease. Conclusion: The coffee is beneficial for the health drink that it is safe to drink in the morning.
A cup of black tea contains about 40 milligrams of caffeine, i.e. twice more than coffee.

Drinking tea or coffee is first experiment, than if you had the experience, how it can help to wake up, it will develop to habit. So a lot of people still drink their morning caffeine even with bad results like high heart rate, tremor and problems with the stomach. Some times we are "relearning" very slowly.
Coffee is a stimulant, and gets your brain going. It's full of anti-oxidants as well. There is an interesting calculation in 'The Physics of Consciousness' by Evan Harris Walker of how long a cup of coffee will put off the onset of sleepiness, based on the quantum physics of synaptic firings in the brain.
Dear Hanno !
You do well to remind us of the great taste and smell of coffee, as a good reason for the habit.
I also love the taste and smell. I have grown accustomed to mixing several blends of freshly ground coffee beans, and to make the mixtures with several different proportions, according to situations. It has a certain kind of magic in itself.
And I wouldn't mind the promise of a close encounter with the beautiful George Clooney, I must admit I don't much care for ready made capsules of Nespresso... Not for me. I'd much rather prefer to invite the man for a taste of my personalised home-made fresh magic coffee.
I take morning tea. It is part of my routine. You may say I am addicted to tea, as many people don't take.
Thanks QMH Sir for the question.Now we have to think science rather tan sense of smell and habit.Tea and coffee is the mixed component of Sugar and milk,which gives us carbohydrate as well as protein,phosphorus and calcium and vitamins or we add tee and coffee these are crude of plant leaves s produces antioxidant and vitamin-C. So, for our first coffee and tee provide the better energy to our body.Although coffee developed nicotine we have opt to balance for the same.if we take more time and addicted then the these enriched molecules having no fault.We responsible for addiction and weakened our body. If we take these energy morning and evening it certainly beneficial for our body and immune system. If we taking more then it having side effects too. As per metabolism and biochemistry of carbohydrate,protein and polysaccharides other residues K,P,Ca+, water and other molecules,vitamins and minerals having on reaction in different way.
No, we have to discuss, why we drink coffee. We really dont do it by scientific reasons, we do it because we like it or by any other personal reason. Early in the morning my brain is not able for science but for taste and smell.
Dear Qasim:
It is custom and its result: a bit of addiction. Let me say that we, Argentinians --and our Uruguayans neighbors, of course-- drink mate at morning, evening or any time. Coffee and tea are also in our diet, but mate is the widespread preferred infusion (also in Paraguay and south of Brazil).
Here you have the most famous Argentinian drinking mate !!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(beverage)
Taking tea or coffee with colleagues and friends provides a lot of discussion. Coffee houses are capable to revert the future of a society as discussions with a cup of coffee assemble guys to a common point.
When getting up in the morning we used to start with our morning under Good morning or under the name of GOD.With this morning TEA start with the family union & members with the chit chat under a smiling pleasing atmosphere.
Besides individual who are accustomed to TEA they become totally fresh for their routine program .
TEA & COFFEE are so to say twin but those who like TEA will not go for COFFEE .The same is true for those who are interested in COFFEE will not prefer to TEA.
Either TEA OR COFFEE there is no other sentiments except the taste for liking -taste & habits .
This is my personal opinion
Sir what are the science behind this this reason we should know another way its not
related to quantum and consiousness it gives a fresh energy to our immune system
in our body.
Any reason to drink up to six cups of coffee every day are welcome. Anything else should be added little by little and sugar should never be there, neither artificial sweetners.
Tea is a great drink. It has lots of good things in it. But I also would not add lemon neither dairy with it.
Ofcourse lemon tee is also one choice for antioxidant and vitamin-c propoties helps to our body.
Yes, dear Brenda. But there also seems to be a link between reducing colorectal cancer recurrence and coffee and tea addiction.
Although not addicted (yet !), I am a lover of the taste of xanthines (including coffee, tea, and chocolate - probably also our dear José's Erva Mate ! -)
You'll find that they all have stimulating effect, anti-oxidant effect, apart from the fact that they bring colour to you life !
Did you know that they can have beneficial effects on asthma ???

I have quitted smoking almost 7 years ago. At that time I have thought that I 'll never drink coffee again. Wrong! I was wrong. Now I do feel fine taste of coffee and I do enjoy it a lot. I practice 2 cups of strong coffee (no milk) two times a day. It is a habit, custom...
Dear Cecilia !
I do too. But just the idea of the million different ways of making coffee, turns it into a delightful scientific endeavour...
Dear Ljubomir - If you add a little cloud of milk, you reduce the acid effect of acid effect of coffee to your stomach, without spoiling the flavour.
Here's to coffee beans !

In my opinion, most people tend to take something worm at morning. I don't know, but I expect that psychologists may study this kind of tendency, since the general aim of psychology is to explain the behavior.
Anyway, I prefer to drink tea at morning.
I like to drink tea, it is useful for the Health especially the heart. Try it!
Dear Maria and Cecilia, I buy coffee directly from coffee harvesters. I can choose the grains myself. That is probably why I am always awake...
The Vatican still buys Puerto Rican coffee. It's been more than a hundred years now. It's all in the soil. We plant Arabica.
I'm a freak of coffee-brewing apparatuses because they are usually weird: I have a Breville expresso machine that is awesome, and a french press, and a couple of "Grecas", and a "sock", which is native to us. We got the first two coffee shrubs directly from the Paris Jardin des Plantes. King Louis XIV received from Arab diplomats a gift: two small coffee shrubs. Eventually, a French aristocrat who was headed for the Caribbean asked the king to give him two little coffee plants, offsprings of the first two, and the King said yes. During the Atlantic crossing the ship could not stop to get fresh water, so the Frenchman had to forego his own to water the little trees, which got alive and well to Puerto Rico in early 18th century. It spread across our small island in a few years, and then we started to drink coffee with enthusiasm, some 300 years ago.
Puerto Rican roast is among the best coffees ever. I am so grateful for my coffee. We have more than 500 hundred "boutique" plantations, all protected by trees from direct sunlight (it affects the aroma and the taste of coffee), in smallish coffee forests. I travel the island in search of new or unknown brands and always have my fridge full with a few pounds and I like ti grind it myself. Coffee is my homeland, the aroma, the flavourful mouthful in the morning, the nice aroma in midafternoon under my bougainvilleas.
For Puerto Ricans it is not a custom, it's a tradition. Oh, my friends. Coffee is my life. :-)
Warm regards to all, Lilliana, The Coffee Freak
Although I cannot find it now, I recently read a study where they monitored people's brain while they smelled and drank coffee. They found no correlation between increased brain wave activity and the smell or consumption of coffee, thus assuming a placebo effect. I think they forgot to plug the recording equipment in!
Coffee's fine in the morning, but I'd rather have Black Drink.
Dear James, that is necessarily misleading or downright false. I feel more awake after a cup of coffee. It is like a jolt. Coffee accelerates the metabolism. Since I was a kid. Kill those alleged scientists NOW! Or tell them not to use decaffeinated coffee for stupid experiments. :-)
Lilliana
Lilliana,
Your account of the coffee history in Puerto Rico is fascinating.
The Arab diplomats must have brought the coffee from Ethiopia, where the original plant is still there but diminishing rapidly in abundance.
Coffee and tea are certainly stimulants, but keep some people awake at night. Nice to have, but not a necessity. I think people think they cannot function without coffee, but this is just because of the habit of making the drink, not so much the content.
Very interesting reason . Tea and coffee is most preferred in the morning , one of the simplest reasons that comes to my mind , is the rejuvenation of your system through antioxidant/stimulator after having deep sleep of 5-6 hours. Just to give a nice metabolic fillip to the system .
At the beginning people are motivated by the "stimulant" properties of coffee and tea and/or the antioxidant properties of tea. But further it become an addiction/habit to parents who transmit it to children. And finally it become a culture.
The drawback in this situation is that food industries take the opportunity to sell everything and anything and people continue to consume without worrying about the quality. We should be aware of what we drink!
But ultimately, there is nothing most stimulant than water in the morning.
Regards!
NOBOSSE
Well mostly tea and coffee are integral part of breakfast due to addiction. I have used both several times and have a slight bias towards tea due to it being more prevalent in the subcontinent.
Both the beverages have been tremendously important in the literary and religious circles. In Islamic history the gathering or a school formed by the spiritual masters are known as (khan-qah) in persian. This comes from the word Khana-e-Qah or the house of brew(coffee seeds traditionally). They used it mostly due to its ability to cut sleep.
Tea and coffee have a drug named caffeine, which relaxes the mind and if body receives the amount required than people feel relax and active.
In Iran where I am originally from, tea is more common than coffee. I think that drinking tea or coffee is a custom. However, since this custom has always been practiced, it has become a habit in people.
Some do not actually like to eat early in the morning. So, they prefer taking something that is very light. Meanwhile, some are too busy to take breakfast.
The morning cup of tea rejuvenates the in-between time when the person is half awake. It wakes him up (fully) ready to take on the day. I enjoy reading newspaper with the morning cuppa.
Centuries of Ottoman rule may have left the Bosnians in an identity crisis, but one thing’s for certain – you can never call their coffee Turkish.
The complicated culture of Bosnian coffee!
"...When you’re ready for your coffee, first take a sip of water. Spoon out a layer of foam from the top, then pour from the džezva before adding the foam to the cup (after all, Bosnian coffee with no foam is no Bosnian coffee at all). If you want sugar, don’t plop it in your drink; instead, take a bite from one of the cubes on your tray and put it under your tongue to dissolve as you sip..."
It is real enjoyment!
http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20140707-the-complicated-culture-of-bosnian-coffee
Dear Ljubomir !
How absolutely and delightful interesting !!!
As a coffee lover, I am thrilled to someday try bosnian coffee. Here's another good thought : You should never speak of turkish coffee unless you are certain that it is Turkish...
http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/04/27/179270924/dont-call-it-turkish-coffee-unless-of-course-it-is
Dear Marcos Augusto, Bravo! Life with coffee is so much better than life without coffee. And, besides, coffee is the drink of friendship. Nothing better that to have friends over for a nice cup coffee and a great, lively conversation!
Ljubomir, I NEVER add sugar to my coffee. But your suggestion sounds enticing. I will dissolve sugar under my tongue. Too tempting. :-)
Best regards, Lilliana
Dear Dr. Barik,
Tea, among other mineral, has aluminum. Tea has almost a neutral pH (6.5). Lemon has a pH of 2, very acidic. Having those together may cause the aluminum staying in one's body and cause health problems. So, I would think juice before considering having such a great taste.
For me I can not stard my day without acup of coffee it is aneed

Which Helps You More in the Morning: Tea, Water or Coffee?
"Regardless of whether you are a morning person, you probably have a morning beverage habit. Coffee fans cannot face the day without a cup of joe, while tea drinkers are out of kilter if they don't awaken with a cup of herb, black or green tea. A glass of water might well help you more in the morning than either of these more popular morning beverages.
Coffee
Most morning coffee drinkers would not trade their first cup of coffee for any other beverage, which is not surprising given that the caffeine in coffee is a mildly addictive stimulant. Moderate coffee consumption might have more benefits, including lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes, reducing risk of gallstones and colon cancer, and -- the key effect for morning coffee drinkers -- improving cognitive function, Harvard Medical School reports. Coffee will keep you more alert, however, if you spread your consumption through the day rather than imbibing a few big cups first thing in the morning. People with heart concerns should discuss caffeine's potential effects on blood pressure, heart rate and heart rhythm with their doctors before consuming large amounts of coffee or any other caffeinated beverages.
Caffeinated Tea
Black, green, white and oolong teas all come from the same plant and all contain caffeine, according to a Northwestern University's Medill Reports interview with Dr. Stanley Segall, professor emeritus of nutrition and food science at Drexel University. Tea contains antioxidants that help protect the body from the negative health effects of damaging free radicals, elements that roam the bloodstream causing cellular damage. The less-processed white and green teas have higher antioxidant levels than black and oolong teas. The caffeine in tea, as in coffee, may interfere with certain medicines, so check with your doctor about whether tea or coffee is appropriate to consume on an empty stomach in the morning. Also beware of commercial cold beverages that are usurping the benefits of tea. Many of these contain a small amount of tea and a massive amount of sugar or other harmful ingredients that negate the health benefits, according to a report on ABC News' "Good Morning America."
Herbal Tea
Herbals teas, or tisanes, have the same warm-beverage comforting factor as that morning cup of coffee or caffeinated tea, but without the acidity or caffeine. A variety of herbal teas are available in loose leaf and bag form, allowing you to keep an assortment on hand to match your morning mood. Different herbal teas may also help address the symptoms of a cold, upset digestion or other ailments, notes David Perry at the University of New Hampshire. Ginger tea and peppermint tea help fight motion sickness and the morning sickness associated with pregnancy, so if you face a nauseating morning commute or are bearing a child, herbal teas might be the best morning choice for you. Always consult your doctor, however, before treating any medical condition with herbal alternatives, especially if you are pregnant.
Water
Water is the most popular beverage in the world, and for good reason. Water helps all your bodily functions work more efficiently, from thinking to fighting disease to maintaining a healthful weight, according to a web page on the Lake Forest College site, and should be consumed before you drink anything else. Drink water all day, starting in the morning, advises the Iowa State University Nutrition Clinic. Improve the health benefits of that morning cup of water with a chunk of lemon. Its flavor will help wake you up, and it will add antioxidants to water's list of beneficial factors, according to a study published in the "Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture" in January 2011."

Why Do We Drink Coffee at Breakfast?
"Many of us associate coffee with mornings. It's the thing that we need to kickstart the day. But it has been shown that the best time to drink coffee isn't even right when you get up. Because of the chemistry in your brain, it's actually a few hours later, when the coffee gives you its full effects.
So, why did we even start drinking coffee in the morning?
Well, it was better than alcohol in the morning.
The introduction of coffee to Europe has been said to have helped in the sobering of the "alcohol-soaked" continent, the caffeinated drink replacing alcoholic libations, which were often consumed even in the morning.
Different social circles in different countries obviously had various traditions of what they consumed for their morning beverage, but there are many references to alcoholic and fermented drinks throughout history. The Romans ate bread soaked in wine, British soldiers in the 1890s are said to have kicked off their days with rum and tea, children in the US used to drink hard cider, and in Germany, abeer soup was the morning drink of choice...."

Why do we drink coffee in the morning? - Because we Learned to do so! (given the fact that to start drinking coffee in the morning is NOT a developmental milestone in human behavioral development)
Some learn to drink coffee, some learn to drink tea and they become part of our daily lives. Just like your dessert after dinner. (why do we eat dessert AFTER dinner and NOT before?.. because we learned it that way ..same goes for your morning or evening coffee!
Btw..I am not biased with tea or coffee, I can start my day with either of them..

Why are people drinking coffee or tea at morning?
Think this practice is subjective to different people according to their needs or preferences albeit there are benefits of drinking coffee & tea (see 2 links below). Switching from drinking coffee to tea can happen also after a while e,g, to be more health conscious / upon doctor advice etc. Some people are more flexible i.e without coffee they can switch to tea for a particular morning etc. Also some people only prefer to drink juices, plain water etc.

Seyed,
You did not mention yerba mate. It is high in caffeine and supposedly has many health benefits. I have been drinking what is called yaupon tea, or black drink, for decades and prefer it to chai. Iced, it has a better flavor than chai and I find that little if any sweetener is necessary. Brewed strong, hot yaupon tea can compete with coffee as a morning refresher. It once was marketed to Europe, where it was preferred over chai, and was used as a tea and coffee substitute during the U.S. Civil War period. In addition, I can step out my back door and harvest enough in 20 minutes to last me 5 years. Below is an excerpt from a paper of mine that is scheduled to be published later this year.
"Currently, Ilex vomitoria and other Ilex species constitute the number three caffeinated beverage source in the world. A lot of this is marketed as yerba mate tea and is sold in leaf form in naturalist and health food stores. Though technically yerba mate is Ilex paraguariensis, it also can refer to Ilex vomitoria and Ilex cassine. In 1936 Argentina exported 18,239 kilograms (20.1 tons) of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) to the United States (Folch 2010:26). By 2007 the United States imported 75,296 kilograms (83 tons) of the herb from Argentina, or one-fifth of all yerba mate exported out of the country (Wainwright and Putz 2010:6). Interestingly, Wainwright and Putz (2010) noted in blind taste tests that test subjects preferred yaupon tea over yerba mate. This preference, however, changed when test subjects were told that they were drinking Ilex vomitoria and Ilex paraguariensis, thus showing the power of perception in a name. Additionally, while Ilex vomitoria has an approximate ratio of 5:1 caffeine to theobromine, Ilex cassine reportedly has a ratio of only 1:4 to 1:7 (Crown et al. 2015:2). Ilex paraguariensis also has a much lower reported caffeine index than Ilex vomitoria. The low caffeine content of the latter two is likely the reason that most historical observers mention the Native Americans preferring yaupon for their tea (Green, in publication)."
Seyed MM congrats for your efforts and correct answer written here.
Thanx God Bless you.

Dear all,
It is my personal view. I agree with colleagues who indicates that coffee is as a catalyst for their performance in the morning. I drink a cup of coffee every morning, of course after the breakfast as it was described by Dr. Beata to anticipate the stomach acid (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) because I have the problem in the 20 years old. The habit has been starting since years ago, when my mother gave me coffee in 16 years old following my family culture. In regard to Dr. M. I. Khan's opinion above, I am also agree that it is more as a habit and an addiction when I observe my children. They may dislike to drink coffee, if drinking coffee is prohibited.
i think its just an addiction, apart from having some positive effects on body and mind
Good morning
After taking my cup of coffee and understand text saying something like:
"I drink coffee, therefore I am", so that not only in the morning, throughout the day I blurring, so I take it several times, without this alters my dream.

Dear Quasim,
Firstly a cup of coffee or tea in the morning or for that matter any time of the day (but more importantly at least on two occasions like morning and evening and particularly also when you are tired and looking for instant dose of energy) is really necessary and serves the purpose on account of following reasons:
1) Both these beverages contains caffeine which in itself is a stimulating agent and makes you feel fresh and energetic.
2) If you take this beverage along with sugar and milk that will add significantly to the calorific value of it and would obviously depend on the quantity of each added in a cup at a time.
3) Third reason is obviously is related to a matter of habit rather than an addiction.
4) And particularly as you are talking of cup of coffee or tea in the morning, it is quite obvious that you are consuming it after a break of 7-8 Hrs after bedtime rest and would significantly suffice the body need for instant energy.
5) As far as which particular drink you prefer, whether tea or coffee, it is simply a matter of personal liking and adaptation to a particular beverage based on the flavor and aroma associated with each of them.
In fact both contains caffeine as main alkaloid (coffee also contains trigonelline in addition to caffeine) which acts as stimulating agent for the nervous system.

Man puts the morning cup of strong black coffee (bitter) - and the day is at once brighter and sweeter :-))
Both coffee as tea have xanthine (caffeine in the coffee and theobromine in the tea), an alkaloid which stimulates the central nervous system, and makes one feels more awake.
Dear Sir,
Theobromine an alkaloide present in cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and not in tea and coffee. Caffeine is present in both tea and coffee. In addition to caffeine, coffee also contains another alkaloide by name trigonelline though in lesser amount as compated to caffeine.

Yes, dear Mehrdad !
Cafeine mixed with pure fresh lemon juice is certainly the best medication for instant relief of migraine.
No pill would supplant the instant relief of a stong expresso double coffee with a few drops of lemon juice. (I'm a medical practitioner, and I suffer from strong migraine. This is the only medication I take for my headaches. I wouldn't care what effect on the stomach...)
It is a matter of habbit rather than an addiction.
An addiction would be a better term w.r.t. say consumption of alcohol, tobacco or morphine like dangerous drugs.
It is like a habit rather than an addiction. Muslim at Ramadan for one month do not drink Tea or Coffee at morning.
Normally peoples have habit or may be addiction. I think it stimulate our nervous system and gave the feeling of awaken and more freshness and one can come out of dizziness.
Definitely a habit that, for some, is also an addiction. However, the social aspects of coffee make it so much more. I remember Acadian elders drinking "Cajun" coffee in demitasses. A dram of blackness so strong that it would rival Puerto Rican coffee. A communal spoon quickly stirred and placed in a glass of water, as if to prevent the coffee from corroding the spoon. A sugar cube often dropped into the tiny cup, only to still be present at the bottom and sucked down with the last drop.
Any guest, however short their visit, be they stranger or neighbor, was offered coffee. It was poor manners not to offer, as it was bad form to decline. It was synonymous with breaking bread. One of the great historical documentaries, "The Pirogue Maker", also called "The Last Pirogue Maker", that was filmed in 1948 shows this interaction.
In the U.S. I think this "breaking of bread" is quickly falling by the social wayside.
In southern states of India (notably in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh etc) it is not only the morning time but almost throughout the day majority of population enjoy their coffee. It is the filter coffee and not instant coffee. If you are used to a taste and flavor of a filter coffee then you would hardly go for instant coffee such as Nescafe or any other brand for that matter. Because instant coffee is such a poor substitute for a strong cup of freshly roasted filtered coffee which comes from the optimum mixture of Coffee arabica and Coffee robusta with or without addition of chicory. It is generally added with lot of sugar and little of fresh milk. Ideally buffalo milk, rich in fat is preferred over to cow milk. Similar coffee is also available in few select south Indian (Udipi) restaurants in Bombay (Matunga, Mumbai).
Maria Madam Good morning.
We know that the merits and demerits part of tee and coffee has stimulating effect.
Despite of this if we take more times naturally its bad for health. So people always to
take as per requirement of minimum times is quite good enough in my knowlege.
Because health is our So,we have to look after our body without doctor.
Thanking you and warm regards

Dear Qasim,
In India, mothers in general would discourage their children from taking tea/coffee. They want their children should drink plain milk instead and the latter would invariably refuse to do so. Thus children are given cocoa based beverage (generally a proprietary beverage such as Bournvita or similar type) along with milk. However as it is cocoa based (Theobroma cacao) it does contain some caffeine (although somewhat in lesser concentration than tea/coffee) along with other alkaloids such as theobromine and theophylline and are also having the stimulating effect on the CNS.

"Which Helps You More in the Morning: Tea, Water or Coffee? By Cindy Hill.
Regardless of whether you are a morning person, you probably have a morning beverage habit. Coffee fans cannot face the day without a cup of joe, while tea drinkers are out of kilter if they don't awaken with a cup of herb, black or green tea. A glass of water might well help you more in the morning than either of these more popular morning beverages.
..... Water
Water is the most popular beverage in the world, and for good reason. Water helps all your bodily functions work more efficiently, from thinking to fighting disease to maintaining a healthful weight, according to a web page on the Lake Forest College site, and should be consumed before you drink anything else. Drink water all day, starting in the morning, advises the Iowa State University Nutrition Clinic. Improve the health benefits of that morning cup of water with a chunk of lemon. Its flavor will help wake you up, and it will add antioxidants to water's list of beneficial factors, according to a study published in the "Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture" in January 2011."....
