Tea versus Coffee

What is your choice of hot drink between the two? A cup of tea or a cup of coffee?

I used to be big on drinking tea including herbals which was relaxing while reading a book or looking up about subjects in the I.T field for me.

But coffee? I drink it in the morning ready for my day and work search, keeps me upright that caffeine stuff but I don't drink more than 2 cups due to caffeine contents.

I used to drink quite a lot of it in the workplace (Deadlines and projects tend to make you do that)

So what about you? Are you a tea enjoyer or a coffee enjoyer?

I have both coffee and tea in the mornings.

I have a way of brewing a pitcher of tea where I boil water in a saucepan, turn of the heat, steep up to 6 teabags the brand I use for 5 minutes, remove them, pour it into a large pitcher, then fill with water until full of freshly-brewed tea.

At least, that’s how I me and my Dad make it.

I am a software engineer. Coffee goes in, code comes out

Straight to the point, I like it! Programming sucks out your soul!

My soul has been sucked out. But you forgot to mention your soul is also replaced with coffee.

And your blood

Coffee is the nations' soul

I am one too, but coffee now gives me bad heartburn :(

One coffee in the morning, a cup of strong tea in the early afternoon and herbal in the evening.

Coffee in the morning, Sleepy Time tea before bed

Coffee is either a social thing for me or part of a nice sunday breakfast with quality beans, a hand grinder and V60 filter. I don't believe it gives me actual energy, I prefer better sleep for that.

In other situations I drink tea. I always love browsing tea shops on holiday trips and get some for me or as gifts. There is a limitless variety of tea available. Something for everyone.

Coffee. Usually black, but I sometimes grab a cappuccino.

I never liked tea.

I really like both. I have to have coffee in the morning so I guess if I had to pick one that would be it.

I love a good chai that will take my lunch money though

I prefer iced tea, but my honey makes me a coffee every morning when he makes his, so i drink it and enjoy it. I like a nice coffee or with dessert sometimes or occasionally an espresso in the afternoon. I like hot tea but don't really enjoy it unless it's cool out.

I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I'll always have both stocked in my pantry.

Coffee in the morning, tea anytime after. Tea especially when it's cold. Great taste, zero calories, zero guilt.

I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I've got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels... a bit disconnected from coffee proper.

I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only

Mostly only drink tea while I'm sick. I drink coffee every day getting up with my wife, but I'd rarely drink it on my own.

A few weeks ago my wife went out of town for a long weekend and I had the most persistent headache that wouldn't go away. When she came back, it went away as soon as I started drinking coffee with her and I realized it was caffeine withdrawal. I hate being physically dependent on coffee, but it's a big part of our morning ritual.

Try Earl Grey tea, it can be decently stimulating. I know these things hehe

Coffee, but I can get the ick from coffee once in a while the way I do with eggs, then it's either tea or nothing.

Also add a cup of tea in winter evenings since I don't wanna go over one cup of coffee a day.

MicrowavedTea ,

I like the taste of coffee but I'm way too sensitive to it so I'll only get it when sitting in a coffee shop with a bad tea selection. Tea doesn't seem to have any effect and there's much more variety. I've had times in winter when I was drinking 4-5 cups a day.

I've tried to quit coffee but after a month of anhedonia and general lethargy I accepted my dependence.
