    I agree with replacing coffee with tea. Ever had anyone notice your coffee breath? And it’s a wonder that you haven’t smelled it yourself. That is, if you’re hooked on the troublesome coffee. If you are, you’re stressed out beyond anything you’ve been aware of up until now. Make the switch! Drink your tea. –Spirituality of Tea
