I’m definitely more of a tea person. However, I need a cup or two of coffee to
shift myself into gear (to get started) in the morning. After this, I always stick
with (choose) tea. Coffee tends to make me feel a bit anxious, whereas tea

for me, especially since I’m prone to (easily get) colds and coughs.
