Edit: pu'er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

As a caffeine addict, I prefer black tea because it has a shitload of caffeine in it, but makes me less jittery than coffee. However, coffee just tastes better. So I just drink both, consecutively.
I tried switching to black tea a couple of years ago because I realized that coffee was making my anxiety worse, but fucking hell did tea give me the jitters. I think I just have a bad reaction to tannins in general and apparently black tea is super high in them.
I had that, and still get it from time to time, but found that if I wait until I've eaten to drink tea that it feels fine.
Coffee on an empty stomach is nothing, but strong tea on an empty stomach has me feeling like being assaulted at a molecular level
Yeah it makes my teeth chatter, it's very strange. I didn't noticed a big difference between full vs. empty stomach but I wasn't paying much attention to that either.
I will say that most types of tea do this to me, to varying degrees. Black teas are the worst, green tea isn't nearly as bad. I've had some Chinese white teas and I barely noticed any jitteriness, but those teas really aren't very strong to begin with.
