Life is full of difficult choices.
Cereal or cinnamon buns [for breakfast]?
Pink or red?
Chocolate or vanilla?
Smooth or chunky?
White socks or black socks?
Chocolate or gummy candy?
Sweet or savory?
Coffee or tea?
Gah! It’s enough to make this indecisive girl go a little crazy every now and then. Thankfully, there are things our there that ease my decision-making woes. One of those things is eenie-meenie-miney-mo, which has proven to be a lifesaver as far back as I can remember…
But another, more recent thing is this Coffee Pu’erh tea from David’s Tea.
Holy.wow. Can we say best of both worlds? Yes, yes we can.
I originally bought this tea waaaaaay back in the Fall, but it sat in my cupboards unopened until a few days ago because although I was intrigued, I was also a little put off by the idea of coffee and tea combined – it was either going to be genius or disastrous, and I just wasn’t ready to take that leap of faith.
Thankfully, it was pure genius and I now have a new favorite tea to add to my daily rotation. I like to drink this sucker with lunch when the slumpies start to hit but I’m not quite ready for my afternoon coffee fix. That and pu’erh is thought to aid in digestion, which is an added perk that I definitely enjoy.
I’d also enjoy another trip to Vegas, but unfortunately, work is calling. Happy Tuesday, friends!

Are you good with making decisions? Clearly 🙄
Coffee or tea? Both.
Chocolate or fruit candy? Iguana [read: there is no winner in that contest]
Left or right? 😉
I definitely win the award for being the most indecisive person i know!!!! my problem – i oveerthink EVERY decision like it’s the end of the world!!! Thankfully im much more aware of it and try to make more decisions impulsively –
As for your questions – i love chocolate and eat it almost daily, coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and right!!!
i am dying for those cinnamon rolls. i pinned them immediately upon seeing them online and next time i’m home for a weekend i’m going to make them happen. i’m also a terrible decision maker – i usually make someone give me three choices and then i can pick but god forbid someone say “what do you want for dinner?” and then i have to pick. it’s crippling. i’m fascinated by the coffee/tea combo – i think that would be right up my alley. can we add that into our cookie baking date please? coffeetea sipping?
Definitely 😉 I’ll stock up because I’ve kind of been going through this stuff like water…
I can’t make up my mind to save my life! I always ask my hubby to make my decisions for me. Classy right?
CHUNKY PB 🙂
Decisions made while shopping for clothes = not so good. Decisions made during the day in general = pretty good. So, I guess I’m okay at decision-making, but shouldn’t go shopping with a full wallet 😉
I like coffee a lot better, but I don’t sweeten my tea, so I know that may be why I don’t thoroughly enjoy the flavors of tea no matter what they are! lol
Considering I crave chocolate every day, I DEFINITELY choose chocolate over gummy candies. I just like the flavor, smooth texture, and richness of chocolate so much more than the fake fruit flavors and stickiness that comes with gummy candies!
RIGHT! Though left would probably make me smarter 😉
Wow, so I’m the queen of being horrible at shopping for clothes. I go into the store and sooo many different styles appeal to me that I end up having a hard time figuring out what to buy. That might be part of the reason why I tend to avoid going to the mall too often – it’s just overwhelming!
UGH WHYYY don’t I have a David’s Tea in Washington!! I NEED this!! I am a coffee and tea equalist and would so love this. I made that word up I think. HAHA.
Oh I am so indecisive! When it comes to food I really can be, that is why I eat same boring things!
Coffee and tea, like both!
Happy Tuesday love! <3
I’m good at making the occasional decision, but for the most part, I’ve lined up my life so I don’t need to make decisions. Probably not the best thing ever … But I have been making more choices lately (picking a single slice of chocolate out of an AMAZING selection yesterday? SUCH a difficult choice!!), and I’m proud of myself for that.
And out of all the choices that you mentioned, I don’t think that you could go wrong with any, so three cheers for that!!
Right now I’m deciding between doing my homework… or actually enjoying my evening 😉
I take it that you went with enjoying your evening? 😀
That’s so neat that this tea tastes like coffee! I love both coffee and tea, but coffee wins by just a smidgeon. There’s nothing better than my morning cup of coffee with frothy milk!
Chocolate definitely wins over fruit candy for me. Chocolate wins over pretty much everything. 😛
I’m pretty terrible at making decisions. My family always gets so frustrated with me for being so indecisive haha. It’s because I put too much pressure on myself to always make the best decision possible – it’s something I’m working on!
I used to have trouble making decisions but now I think I know what I want 😉 Chocolate all the way! Hot coffee and cold tea. And I still don’t know my left and right… which is a problem haha.
-Decisions and I don’t mix. EVER.
-I don’t drink coffee OR tea, so hot chocolate 🙂
-You’re right..that shouldn’t even be a question…
RIGHT!!!
– Thankfully I’ve gotten better with making decisions – phew! Makes me feel more sane 😀
– Don’t like/drink coffee or tea
– Chocolate
– Right
Mmm coffee purr tea, sounds good to me!
I finally maisie’s almond butter(smooth), and clearly I have been missing out. I’ve already demolished the jar!
Squee! Finally someone that can relate to the deliciousness that I’m talking about. I honestly have a hard time eating any other kind of almond butter…
I love making a coffee and adding a vanilla chai tea bag – so good!
Very very very indecisive. I may be a Libra but my scales are unbalanced, lol. I hate making decisions, especially if it concerns other people. I always worry if I would make the right one for us. Eh.
I prefer tea over coffee.
Chocolate. Yes to chocolate!!
Right. 🙂
I’m completely intrigued too! I can be super indecisive at times too, on both the little and the small things. What should I have for dinner? What should I do with my life? haha, blah! Wish I had it all figured out.
Haha! Because dinner and life choices are completely on the same level. I totally know what you mean though…
I am literally the worst at making decisions. I can literally spend hours in any store and come out empty handed because I ended up talking myself out of buying both things that I was deciding on.
Well, I’m not much of a candy eater anymore, but in the old days I would say hands down, the gummies. My parents used to get me 5 lb bags of gummy bears for christmas!! Oh, and I used to hate chocolate. Don’t ask, I never understood either. But then, something changed and now I love dark chocolate, but, I don’t know. There I go again with my indecisiveness.
I love the smell of coffee and I work at a coffee shop, so I enjoy the thing that is coffee, but as far as drinking goes, I am hands down a tea connoisseur. Love it!
Left or right? Which is which is my answer to that question, because I have to spend practically 5 seconds figuring out which one to say in the first place (yes, I did have to look down at my hands and do the L trick for this…)
Tea over coffee, chocolate over gummies, vanilla over over chocolate, love the pink nails, cereal for breakfast, cinnamon buns for dessert 🙂
Well aren’t you the snap decision maker 😛
I agree, decisions are super hard. I am such as indecisive person!
I need to try David’s Tea – especially if it’s supposed to help with digestion… I’ll take any help at this point! I’m not always the best at making decisions, depends on what it’s concerning, but oftentimes I’ll wait till the last possible second to make one if need be… Coffee > tea, although I was a big fan of peppermint tea this past winter! Dark chocolate and fruity candy 🙂
Decisions are HARD. I have no problem making big decisions, but it’s the little everyday decisions that can be so difficult to make! And chocolate or vanilla is one of the world’s hardest decisions ever. I usually choose both. ;).
Big decisions being easier? Sometimes I can’t even decide what to put in my sandwich, never mind where I want to go to school or what kind of career I want to pursue. I’m going to start coming to you when I have a big, life-altering decision to make 😉
i hate make decisions but for sure I m certainly a tea and chocolate girl! So glad its Tuesday
For the most part I’m good at making decisions, but they usually deal with my future. If you were to ask me to choose something for dinner or to decide where to go on our date…I’d have to think about it forever and probably still wouldn’t be happy with my decision, even if I had an amazing time!
Chocolate definitely. Sometimes gummy candy weirds me out.. and I choose right, for being right handed 😉
As I read through each “decision” that you listed I found myself have a very difficult time deciding which of the two things that I would choose. Yes, I admit it…I can be VERY indecisive! For most of the choices that you listed my only response would be…”well, I guess it depends on my mood!” 😉
Coffee and tea combined? Sounds like a great idea – I wish David’s Tea would hurry up and export to the UK, or better yet open a store! I’m sick of being a slave to Starbucks.
I am the worst at making decisions – I’m anxious enough already without agonizing for years over making the wrong choice, which inevitably I always do simply by virtue of it being the particular action I’ve chosen. No matter how things turn out I’ll twist it so that the other option was ‘correct,’ I am wrong and thus I am a perpetual idiot.
Anyway, coffee for me all the way (never decaf – eew), chocolate (I hate fruit sweets – used to like Skittles as a child though but can’t imagine eating them now) and…err, both when it comes to left and right? I write with my right hand but paradoxically the left side of my body is bigger, stronger and dominant when it comes to both weight-lifting and running. Weird. But that’s just me all over.

Wellll, I wouldn’t exactly say that being a slave to Starbucks is ALL that bad, but maybe you could have a certain Canadian blogging friend send you some tea 😉
Hi! I’m sorry I took ages to reply to this again – I revert to my natural leanings of being shy and socially awkward when I’m not quite sure if I’ve interpreted something correctly. Really though I should just ask straight away – do you mean you might be interested in perhaps swapping something from the UK for some tea 🙂 No worries if not (I’m the Queen of getting the wrong end of the stick) but just drop me an e-mail if there is anything I might be able to send over in exchange for some tea!

I’m kind of a terrible decision maker. When I make plans with people and they ask me what I feel like doing, my answer is always along the lines of “well, uh…what do YOU want to do?”
I am working it thought!
Chocolate vs. candy: we all know that I don’t even need to think about that one.
coffee or tea: again, no thought required.
left or right: left. Because I am a proud southpaw. :-p
I hate making decisions so much. But you know my views on cinnamon buns so that one would be easy. The rest of the time I just can’t make up my mind. All this talk of gummy candy is really making me crave twizzlers right about now…
Eeney meany miney moe is used far more times than I’d care to admit when making decisions 🙂 I’m terrible at making important life choices.
Oh, and definitely pink. I don’t know why, but I’ve kind of always hated red, which I do realize is illogical because pink is derived from red… But anyways, I’m slowly warming up to the color.
i’d say both to ALL those! Chai Latte espresso. Chocolate vanilla swirl. okay maybe nor the gummy and chocolates though.
But what about fruit filled chocolate? Or chocolate covered fruit? 😉
i am not a huge fan of that combo, I’d still eat it though if someone gave it to me. haha
Aaaah, decision-making is definitely not one of my outstanding qualities.Whether big or small – they usually require a mom call ;). [Okay, not the very small ones but as soon as we’re talking business/university they do]
Tea and chocolate all the way for me! No day goes by without them but I wouldn’t miss gummy candies one bit and coffee is still too bitter-tasting for me. Hey, to each their own, right? Am I forgiven if I say that tiramisu/coffee-flavoured ice cream is nice every now and then ;)?
I would pick the ghirardelli candy over sour any day. They just came out with a new flavor: caramel latte. It really lives up to its name and tastes like a latte. Awesomeeee!
Bahahaha i’m the same way with making decisions (read: i hate making them) and my favorite phrase is i’m good with whatever when asked to decide what we do or eat…drives joe and my friends nuts but there it is haha…i love coffee and tea and chocolate and gummy candy too…combining tea and coffee in one drink is amazing…i must try to find some!
I am hands down the worst at making decisions! Is it bad that I would pick both for everything?!
Nope! Just means that you get to enjoy the best of both worlds 😀
I am pretty good at decisions, except when I eat out. I sit there forever panicking, I take the wrong decision. Besides that I just postpone the second decision for later….so chocolate for lunch, fruit gums for dinner…..sweet for breakfast, savory for lunch – works perfectly!! 🙂
Both to all! 🙂 Except the chocolate question. Always chocolate…
I am very good about making decisions. And it’s funny because most of the important people in my life aren’t – like my husband, sister, and best friend. That’s the way the world works, I suppose!
And chocolate…ALWAYS chocolate! 🙂
Oh gosh, decisions and I are not really the best of friends. I’m probably one of the most indecisive people ever! So I’m totally loving this coffee pu’erh tea you got there! It definitely makes that coffee or tea decision a whole lot easier. Just wish there was a davids tea near me…
Well, I know which new tea I’ll be picking up from David’s Tea when I go Thursday;)
Haha, I’m totally the same as you….just not good at all with decisions. As soon as I pick one thing, I totally crave the thing I didn’t choose! I like a little of both worlds I guess.
Chocolate for me. I actually have a weird random tooth fear with gummy/candy things. Haha, I’m so odd. So I guess that’s an easy choice then. 😉
I can understand the tooth/gummy thing… that stuff does tend to get stuck in some bad places.
gummy candy all the way, no questions asked. I really want some now that you posted that beautiful picture of them. Drool. Ignore that last email… per usual I jumped the gun and I am so needy that I already missed you. Oh goodness.
Ha! Are you forgetting the frantic text I sent you when I realized you didn’t post one day? Don’t talk to me about crazy attachment issues 😉
