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]

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
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.
Lisa recently posted..Be The Best Version Of You
I can understand the tooth/gummy thing… that stuff does tend to get stuck in some bad places.
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…
kris recently posted..monday musings
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!
Parita recently posted..Weekend View Via My iPhone
Both to all!
Except the chocolate question. Always chocolate…
Tiff (@LoveSweatBeers) recently posted..20 Minutes
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!!
Lucie recently posted..Marvelous in my Monday
I am hands down the worst at making decisions! Is it bad that I would pick both for everything?!
Danielle @ Clean Food Creative Fitness recently posted..Chocolate Covered Strawberry Paleo Whoopie Pies
Nope! Just means that you get to enjoy the best of both worlds
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!
Caitlin recently posted..Tuesday Thoughts…100th Post Edition
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!
Ashley @ Life and Fitness recently posted..Healthified Muffins!!
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
?
Miss Polkadot recently posted..MIMM: Berlin-ating weekend with my mum
i’d say both to ALL those! Chai Latte espresso. Chocolate vanilla swirl. okay maybe nor the gummy and chocolates though.
lindsay recently posted..Moves, Meals, and Musts Monday
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

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 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…
Sarah @PickyRunner recently posted..What is Perfection?
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
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles recently posted..Tuesday Thoughts.
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!

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!”
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl recently posted..Tofu Breakfast Scramble
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

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.

Carly @ Snack Therapy recently posted..Outsourcing
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 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

Well aren’t you the snap decision maker
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…)
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.
Meghan @ After the Ivy League recently posted..I’m Not Skinny (and I don’t want to be)
Haha! Because dinner and life choices are completely on the same level. I totally know what you mean though…
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.

Chocolate all the way! Hot coffee and cold tea. And I still don’t know my left and right… which is a problem haha.
Elizabeth@myneonrunningshoes recently posted..The tornado that took our roof off, Tim McGraw, and the world’s most important question.
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!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin recently posted..A weekend away from the kitchen

Picky Nicky recently posted..Less Volume, Less Bloating
I take it that you went with enjoying your evening?
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!!
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
Katie recently posted..TJ’s Highlights Tuesday
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.
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!

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!!!
Chocolate
Always chocolate! Except in my frozen yogurt, which in that case, gummies, always gummies!!
Kate @ Quarter Century Southern Living recently posted..All in a Day’s Shopping Trip
when its time to make a desicion between chocolate and candy, i choose the easy route…
Big Turk.
the best of both worlds.
i love winning haha!
Decision making is the bane of my existence! I am the WORST decision maker, and will typically waffle back and forth between my options, before either 1) buying/having both, or 2) walking away empty handed. When it comes to coffee and tea, however, I always go the coffee route in the morning, and the tea route in the afternoon. Unless we’re talking about decaf cappuccinos (only in the afternoons; morning coffee is always black), or caffeinated tea (only at night, if I’m planning on staying out late). Gah, I guess it’s more complicated than I originally thought!
Chocolate candy always wins–always. However, choosing the *type* of chocolate candy is where the tricky decision lies.
Happy Tuesday, Amanda!
Sara @ Nourish and Flourish recently posted..Weekend Snapshots 2.18.13
Haha! your tea/coffee routine sounds as complicated as mine. Black tea in the morning, black tea around lunch, coffee in the afternoon, herbal tea at night… unless I’m planning on staying up, then black tea at night as well. Whatever works, right?
Coffee > Tea (but it has to be a flavored coffee, and either over ice or in the form of a frapp. I hate, HATE warm drinks.. even hot chocolate)
Chocolate = Fruit Candy… I refuse to pick, too close.
Jessie recently posted..What I Ate Wednesday :: Valentine’s Day
Oh man…I hate it when I see a menu and I want every single thing. Eating with friends that share food is my favorite. Decisions are less pressure.
The sweet or savory breakfast decision happens EVERY DAY for me. Luckily, it’s the small things that trip me up and I am very confident and decisive with the stuff that matters.
Sierra @ Posh Meets Pavement recently posted..Box Service
I’ve never had David’s Tea but I really, really want to try it because of this specific flavor. I think my life would be complete. Plus, it would probably help my caffeine consumption! I love your socks hahahah, I can’t tell you how many pairs of socks I have with holes and I never throw them away. I think I actually like them better. It gives them character.
Lauren recently posted..Sine, Cosine, TANGENT
Character yes, but sometimes I find it crazy uncomfortable when my toes stick through. As long as I can arrange them in a way that doesn’t involve any rogue toes, then we’re all good.
aaah life’s tough moments!! I am so indecisive too – just this evening I was like “okay, I have leftover salmon, leftover chicken, beans, and tofu…which do I want for dinner?!!?” and I stood there in front of the fridge for a good ten minutes. ay caramba. That coffee-tea sounds AWESOME! I actually can’t drink coffee in the afternoon because the acidity bothers my stomach, but there are totally some days where I could use a caffeine boost…gah, wish we had David’s in the US! And I’m curious – did you go with the cinnamon bun or the usual for breakfast?
Straight black coffee bothers my stomach in the afternoons, but I find that as long as I’m drinking something with a milk base like a latte or cappuccino, then I don’t have to suffer any unpleasantness. And I went with the usual breakfast and had the cinnamon bun mid-morning
I think that David needs to get his act together and bring his tea a little closer to me. Although if I remember correctly there may be one in San Francisco…? Hmm… Anyways Numi has a line of Pu’erh teas which I am in love (the chocolate it the best, no surprise there) but coffee sounds like a dream flavor.
Gina @ Health, Love, and Chocolate recently posted..Tuesday Musings
I feel like I’m one of the few who actually prefer chunky to smooth when it comes to nut butters–I just love the added texture! But for most things, I have the hardest time making a decision. I just don’t wanna be disappointed! Like when I go out to eat at one of my favorite restaurants, I always try something new because I want to find a new fave meal but then I’m second-guessing my decision up until I finally order. And I’m just generally indecisive when it comes to most of my meals, so I end up going with a random mix of things most of the time, and that way I’m never unsatisfied!
Ashley @ AlmostVegGirlie recently posted..College Vegan on a Budget: Produce Overload
Are you good with making decisions?
Nooooo, I’m the worst! I hate when you ask someone where they wanna go for dinner, for example, and they just say, “wherever, I’m easy.” AAAHHHH that is the worst! I can never decide haha
Coffee or tea? Coffee if I’m desperate but usually tea!
Chocolate or fruit candy?
It depends what mood I’m in! Don’t make me choose right now! GOSH.
Left or right?
Always right. Except when it’s left.

“Left or right? Always right. Except when it’s left.” < – One of my all time favorite lines to pull out when I don’t know the answer to something
Yes… except when it’s not.
I’m pretty definitive with my choices – and they don’t usually change!
Cereal, because having something super sweet in the morning gives me a headache.
If I had to choose… red – I don’t think I can pull off pink!
Hmm…. chocolate. CHUNKY! Always chunky. Black socks. Both. It’s cruel to make people decide between sweets and chocolate. Sweet. Always sweet. COFFEE {I hate tea. Unless it’s fruit tea.}
