I don't even like coffee ice cream (I think my mother ate too much of it when she was pregnant with me.) I do, however, like mocha and frapachinnos. But only occasionally.
I couldn't get over the idea of grounding things that already smelled burnt, running hot water over them, and then calling them drinkable. It's like...water on toast.
Tea, on the other hand, at least has that whole leafy thing. I always get the worst insomnia after reading coffee grounds.
Tea, I like. Particularly the flavored teas (licorice being my favorite... that reminds me, I need to buy some more. I'm out in the office.) The problem becomes, most of the teas that I really like are decaffinated. So I end up having to have something like a diet vanilla coke for my caffine fix when I'm incredibly exhausted.
Still, tea is good to drink just for it's own merits.
I don't drink caffeinated tea myself, because I can't handle the caffeine. Kevin is as much a tea addict as coffee addict and I know what smells lovely and what he loves.
Try a jasmine/green mix -- that is ALWAYS popular in our house, originally recommended to Kev by arcaedia. Also there is a lovely vanilla (earl grey i believe) that smells just AMAZING.
Jasmine Green is lovely. I like the Licorice Spice from Stash. No sugar needed, it's naturally sweet! But what runs my engine with an intake of up to 80 ounces a day is Irish Breakfast. Must have my tea. The darker the better. Mmmm...

Then there's my husband, who drinks coffee by the pot full and gains no effect.
