If you spill one of them on your clothes and need to have it dry cleaned, be sure to note which one it was. If it’s tea and the cleaner treats it for coffee, it’ll set the stain and you’re boned.
(Totally unrelated to IA, but true. I used to work at a dry cleaner.)
Actually, it turns out that I have consistently better results by not having coffee at all. I haven’t bothered yet to purchase theanine supplements to test if it’s from theanine or from more leveled dosage of caffeine over the day.
After two coffees in a row I tend to procrastinate (more), and tiredness comes quicker. I enjoy drinking one tea after another, I lose taste for coffee after I’ve had about three per day (I lose “craving” after one-two per day) in normal conditions (but not for example in the beginning stage of a cold/flu).
Anecdotal evidence: coffee followed by tea works best for me. (I.e. better than coffee alone.)

How does it compare to coffee followed by coffee, or any of the other permutations?

and why not just a caffeine pill?
I wonder if it is because tea has theanine in it. Perhaps you could try comparing against a theanine supplement?
