Hmmm... I used to make #chai out of #guarana. I wonder how hard is it to grow?

Unexpected Sources of #Caffeine to Try

Most people have a caffeinated drink each day, but coffee is not the only energizing source of caffeine.

"Caffeine is naturally present in the seeds, leaves, and nuts of several plants including cacao and coffee beans, #guarana seeds, and #tea leaves. In addition to caffeine, these plants also contain other nutrients and compounds like antioxidants."

@Skyliting Aw, nerts. #guarana has been one of my favorite pop/soda flavors since Josta (discontinued) and its spiritual successor Bawls (which apparently still exists but I haven't seen it on shelves for years). I've been missing it... But I don't do caffeine any more either, so.

@evan: Actually several of them:

* I currently drink a lot of coffee (in the morning always a doppio #espresso with a lot of #milk — can't drink that pure , later in the day it's usually a #flavoured #lungo; no sugar — would, but shouldn't. )
* I also like #blacktea, especially #Darjeeling and the flavoured #EarlGrey.
* I love #mate tea (i.e. a specific herbal tea), especially the variant with additional #guarana.

So in the end I'd say that my hot drink of choice are those with #caffeine.
