MODERATORS
Tea doesn't really seem to affect me, maybe makes me slightly more alert. The same goes for most other caffeine drinks. However coffee really messes me up. One or two cups of coffee make me feel stressed and worn out the entire day. It makes my throat hurt, and makes my body feel drained and weak. Some of these effects persist even with caffeine free coffee, so it's probably not the caffeine.
Biology is weird...
Decaf coffee has small amounts of caffeine in it. Not any noticeable quantity (to your average person, that is), but if someone is caffeine sensitive they may notice issues from it.
Hmmm still weird that the caffeine in tea doesn't trigger it. I tend to drink quite a lot of tea because I can't drink coffee, yet I tend to have no problems.
