I do love coffee but it was just getting me down. For the last 8 years I have survived on nervous energy and got so used to it that it was taking 15-20 large mugs of double-strength black to get through the day. I don't want to be that reliant, or that nervous. That's why I switched to tea.
Tea is supposed to be better for you (depending what reports you believe) but it just doesn't have the buzz of coffee. It has a buzz of sorts, but it's more of a refreshing, calming thing. Perhaps it's the zen roots or something. Maybe it's the caffeine difference? Maybe it's antioxidants? It's probably mostly psychological but if it works it has to be a good thing.
Oh, and just to clear it up - I did also try decaf but that's just rancid.
