Tea or Coffee? Tea or Coffee?

[Blues Guitarist]

(You blond bastard)

Tea is, as far as I'm concerned, the greatest drink on the planet and couldn't imagine life without it - but what is with the recent fascination with coffee? Everybloodywhere you've got coffee shops, and they look at like weirdo if you ask for a pot of tea. I blame Friends, but has the cult of coffee spread through NSC as well?

I may have to be forced to start up a tea clique.

To be fair, you get an odd look if you ask for a cup of coffee. You need to order is some sort of code that I was never taught.

I like both but I do prefer a decent loose leaf tea rather than teabags, the taste is so different. Coffee prefab ground and not too strong more Italian than Colombian !

 

[GT49er]

Drink both indiscriminately - and copiously. Milk and two sugars in both, thank you very much! Don't like Earl Grey much, and I can't abide those trendy fruit teas - just like drinking hot squash - yuk!

Coffee in the morning.

Tea in the afternoon.

 

[pasty]

Coffee first thing to wake me up but then tea all day.

 

[TomandJerry]

Twinnings tea

This thread is older than some of the members on here

After 22 years I thought it was a discussion worth revisiting.

Ah. I see what’s happened here.

You’ve gone into a coffee shop. You need a tea shop. Plenty around.

Are they not tea rooms rather than tea shops?

Ah yes, you’re right.

Tea is number one. Although if I can’t get it brewed in a pot. I’ll have a coffee.

someone introduced me to coffee mate and that has improved my homemade coffee. Although it will never take over from tea.

First thing in morning, it's coffee to kick-start the brain, but just one a day......

Then its tea, multiple times a day.

To choose one, it has to be tea.

 

[Simster]

Love both of them.

Is the correct answer, as I said *gulp* over 22 years ago

 

[Whoislloydy]

2 litres of diet coke a day.

A day?!

Coffee Mate is a blast from the past!

I've never drank tea, I stopped drinking coffee around 5 years ago.
My body is a temple & I only drink water, fruit juice or other cold beverages that may contain hops & barley.
I don't like any drinks that contain sweeteners (I don't mind sugar).
It would be coffee for me if I drank either.

 

[Cotton Socks]

Never drink coffee at home.

will have coffee at a Cafe once or twice a week.
About 3-4 cups of tea a day
2 litres of diet coke a day.

That diet coke is really bad for you in those quantities!!

 

[Comrade Sam]

Sorry wrong thread, I don't drink either of them.

Coffee in the morning.

Tea in the afternoon.

Coffee first thing to wake me up but then tea all day.

Agree, it's a timing thing - both have their place during the day/evening

For me, cuppa-T first thing to wake up to.
Coffee mid-morning
Tea mid afternoon
Coffee after supper (early evening)

All white, no sugar - caffeine seems to have little affect on me, so prefer with.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Tea at tea time. 13:00?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Coffee in the morning, tea post 3pm.

Always with a biscuit.

Are you available for tea?

Post 15:00 which is 9:00 US Central time.

I'll try tea with a biscuit.
