I gave up drinking coffee several years ago. I used to drink three or four cups per day at work. Then I found when I went on vacation, I would fall asleep for the first couple of days. So I switched to tea, which I now drink three or four cups per day of at work.
But here on the west coast of Canada we don't drink just plain old black tea. Our tea cupboard at home is full of flavoured teas. There's blackcurrant, vanilla rooibos, vanilla Earl Grey, chocolate hazelnut, chocolate mint oolong, raspberry white tea, South African honeybush tea, Moroccan mint tea, chai teas, and I don't remember what else. Oh yeah, there's blueberry tea and at one time we had lavender tea from Argentina. Out on the street there's a lot of bubble tea shops which were opened by Taiwanese immigrants. I believe bubble tea involves tapioca but I've never tried the stuff myself.
I'll still drink coffee if I'm at a restaurant or at somebody else's house, though. I just don't make it a habit any more.
