Tea or Coffee? - Which do you prefer?

[Ntwadumela]

I'm more of a tea person. I especially like to try exotic and expensive teas from China, Japan, India and Sri Lanka. Any tea is good whether it's Oolong, White, Green, or Black. I also like it iced, but hot tea is the best way to go.
As for Coffee? I have mixed opinions as I'm not too big on it. I usually have iced coffee and especially prefer having hot coffee traditional Arabian Gulf style with a date on the side.

I prefer tea because there is more variety and it is much cheaper. I quite dislike iced tea but if I were in kuwait I might have a different opinion

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Both suck.

Spoiler: serious

Both are OK I guess.

 

[AnOminous]

Tea, but mostly because coffee is now harsher on my stomach than it used to be. Lapsang souchong is probably my favorite tea but is harder to find and more expensive lately. Russian caravan is a nice blend containing this.

My favorite coffee is also getting more expensive, Hawaiian kona. And much being sold under that name is fake or in shitty, mislabeled blends.

I'm not a snob about it, though, and am completely fine with a super strong Irish breakfast tea drowned in milk and sugar, though. Or, for that matter, Dunkin Donuts coffee, which is vastly superior to that swill they sell at Starbucks.

I enjoy coffee, but I'm on the same boat as @AnOminous, it's hard on me. Tea is fine, too.

Tea.
Earl grey if i'm not that tired and have some energy, same with green tea the taste is better than coffee plus its a comfort food of mine.
If i'm really really fucking tired, like just got done pulling an all niter tired i'd rather go without caffeine than drink coffee, and if i do crave it i sweeten it with honey, and drink it without any milk. I dont like coffee as having diagnosed anxiety caffeine does a number on my system.

Iced black tea with some lime or lemon. Orange if it's around Christmas.

 

[Hat]

I prefer really strong black coffee, and drink, on average, one pot of it everyday. That said, I do enjoy a cup of hibiscus tea every now and then.

 

[Sperglord Dante]

Nothing beats cheap coffee, dark and muddy like the female heart.

 

[Trombonista]

Both are great hot or cold, but tea is better.

 

[fire_fly]

I prefer coffee, hot or iced/blended, but occasionally I'll enjoy some hot tea. I can't stand iced tea, though, regardless of the variety.

 

[Gym Leader Elesa]

Like both tea and coffee, but strongly prefer coffee, especially darker blends. Always take both black/plain.

Sweet tea is growing on me rapidly, tho.

 

[lolwut]

Tea is for freedom-hating communists and the only way to drink coffee is blacker than the darkest depths of Hell and twice as hot. Although if I don't have access to water for whatever reason, I find eating the raw grounds works just as well.

Irish cream/whiskey coffee is an acceptable substitute for black coffee if you find yourself having one of those mornings.

 

[Randy Lahey]

i like iced capps from Tim Hortons, that's about it

 

[Country Matters]

I love both!

I love herbal teas (or tisanes, if you're anal about categorization), and black teas. I do love chamomile, though.

I used to hate coffee, but in the past four years I've come to appreciate it. Still like those flavored creamers, but at times I enjoy it with just a bit of milk and sugar. I've been looking into getting a grinder, and whole coffee beans, to try French Press coffee, which I've heard is far superior to just a coffee machine. If anyone has some recommendations, hit me up!

 

[WW 635]

I mainline 4cc's of espresso upon waking in the morning.

 

[Jace E. Denton]

Coffee, I don't know why my palette is more receptive to coffee than tea. I feel like I can taste the differences between just about type of coffee, but almost every type of tea tastes weird to me. I usually don't use sugar in coffee because it throws everything off flavor-wise, kind of like ruining a good burger with globs of ketchup, but good cream can enhance it if used conservatively. If sugar is coffee's version of ketchup, cream is its version of some nice sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

I mean I will drink tea in the right setting and I know if I'm in a country that isn't America, tea is probably going to be more common, I just have more of a taste for coffee in general, tea is always too watery and light tasting.

 

[DatBepisTho]

Both.
Except I like a strong dark roast or flavors for coffee and the more delicate floral blends for tea. Black teas are fine, I just prefer rose-green or white-blueberry.But get me a red berry black tea or darjeeling and it's out with the greens and whites for awhile.
-My palette is weird.

 

[Mrs Paul]

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in. I LOVE iced tea, (I used to have an iced tea maker, but it broke), and hot tea is the ultimate comfort food, as far as I'm concerned. On the other hand, there's nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a cold night.

(Unfortunately, both have to be decaf. Epilepsy sucks balls)

 

[Eldritch]

Black tea is all I drink. Never got the hang of green or white teas, they taste like grass and flowers, respectively. I don't care for flavored teas either, just strong black tea.

I also like mint or chamomile tea in the afternoon.
