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 never understood why it has to be one or the other.

    Sometimes I prefer coffee, sometimes some green tea in the morning, sometimes a cup of matcha if I’m feeling fancy. A cup of lavender tea with honey in the evening can be pure bliss, but an Italian affogado (espresso with vanilla icecream) in the afternoon can also be really perfect.

    Btw it is also possible to like cats AND dogs.

      I will say that 99% of the time I prefer coffee in the morning. It’s not even the caffeine, but the aroma and flavor. Coffee has just an overwhelming flavor, like it just grabs your mouth and puts it in a headlock.

      Tea is my preferred midday or night drink. A more mellow taste, and can be very different.

      I think most normal, reaaonable humans agree that both coffee and tea are good, and that both cats and dogs are cute. People just have a preference and like to joke around about that.

      I have to concede though, that are some legitimately crazy people who go 100% team XYZ and leave no space at all for the positive sides of the other team.

      Tea-bag tea first thing in the morning, strong, with milk. Light/medium-roast speciality filter coffee with breakfast, or mid-morning. If I’m having another caffeine drink in the afternoon it would ideally be nice leaf tea, black, green or oolong definitely without milk. But if I’m at work or out and about sometimes just another mug of tea-bag tea.
