coffee to give them the energy to get things done. This must change. Tea provides 4different chemicals that provide energy while also supporting clear thinking, while coffeeprovides 1 chemical, (caffeine) that provides energy, but due to the abundance ofcaffeine with no additional compounds to soften that impact, the mind bounces aroundlike a pinball machine.
