I drink white tea also for variety -- it has a floral flavor. Why not
incorporate a variety of teas? As for it being better than coffee in terms
of caffeine content -- true. But if you enjoy the taste of coffee, why not
just drink 1/2 cup rather than a full cup for the "kick" and a dose of
antioxidants However, if you are truly caffeine sensitive, it may make
sense to wean yourself off of all forms of caffeine. While I don't believe
the scare mongering of caffeineaphobes or coffeeaphobes, I do believe that
responses to caffeine, like food, may be dose dependant. For example, I
cannot handle a lot of carbs -- but I eat some and know my limit. My
husband easily thrives a much greater number of carbs.
