Tea is a nice alternative to water, and I say this as someone who doesn't like most drinks other than water.

There's a huge variety of tastes among green teas, white teas, oolong, black teas... Specific tea variety, different locations where the plants are grown, different manipulations, all concur to a lot of different tastes. However, a lot of people I've met just say it tastes like "earthy/dirty water"

And a lot of those are not "tea" (with theine/caffeine), they're herb infusions such as mint, hibiscus, chamomile, etc. You can drink as much as you want without getting the typical caffeine buzz.

I particularly like the Morocco Mint & Spices that Lipton sells.

Decaf: Organic peppermint tea.

Caf: Turkish Caykur Rize tea with a tiny bit of sugar or honey, and boiling water.

A warm drink is something I hate. No tea/coffee for me. Ice tea is something I would still thin with 90% water + 10% ice tea

Why would anyone drink tea when there's coffee!?!

[myrmidon]

Which one you prefer is just a matter of taste.

But also, you can stay sufficiently hydrated by drinking just tea. Trying that with coffee will skyrocket your caffeine intake to unhealthy levels.

Also, caffeine is addictive. As someone who is severely addicted to caffeine, I really recommend not getting addicted. Try to drink tea without caffeine, even if you "don't mind" the caffeine in black/green/white tea.
