Cuttin' The Caffeine

So I had been feeling a little head coldy the past couple of days.

I know I had been sleeping more than enough.

I had however been drinking coffee again,
which seems to come with these side effects for me.

I have been trying (half arse-edly, as is my way) to give coffee up.

As for many a year now I thought it maybe contributing to my lethargy, my listlessness .

So yesterday I stopped, once again and chose tea over coffee.

By lastnight I was feeling markedly different, for the better.

So this morning,
I am again on the tea (spoken like a true drinker)
though I so want for the coffee taste.
(yeah right, so not strung out and shaking, I'm not!)

But I thought I'd ask google about the difference in caffeine content.

I wondered is it the levels of caffeine or perhaps some other chemical reaction.

I was actually really surprised at the extreme differences.

According to diff-en

Coffee is between 80-185mg per 8 ounce cup depending on bean & brew.

Tea is between 17 - 70mg again depending on type & brew.

I really like this diff-en site, I will read through more thoroughly.
(one day)
It does mention how tea releases it's caffeine slower,
 thereby being a more gentle brew for the body.

I think it can answer most the questions I have about,
composition, the benefits, and negative effects, which is fantastic!

Ciao for now!
 I'm off to get another 'tea'
That just doesn't have the impact of
"second coffee"
