General Discussion

Heyo! I’ve been getting back into hot tea (mostly herbal) after forgetting that it exists for a while and when discussing with my friends, I’ve found that they have a distinct preference of either tea or coffee. I’ve found this weird since I absolutely love both and interchange a bit when I’m in the mood for hot drinks.

So I pose you the question! Tea or coffee? Or both? Also, what’s your favorite type of tea or brew of coffee? I always like new suggestions of what drinks to try.

Both can be extremely bitter.

I would pick tea for the variety of flavors and health benefits.

Don't like coffe at all, but LOOOOOVE tea. In fact, I'm actually heatring up water at this very moment.

I prefer actual tea, as in tea made from Camellia sinensis, or red tea, but herbal and fruit tea can be fun too.

I recommed trying out Assam-based teas. Assam is a region of india that cultivates a subspecies of tea, C. sinensis assamica. This Assam tea not only has a different flavour, but is also stronger in caffeine than many types of coffee.
It can be actually found in some other tea blends, including earl grey, but I'd say try out the pure stuff too. Real nice taste, and the caffeine is a bonus.

i truly enjoy both tea and coffee, however i do have certain preferences within both. i tend to avoid fruity, warm tea, due to being burned with rather spicy, cinnamon filled ones. However, much like you, i tend to enjoy warm, herbal teas. my personal favourites being mint, and the flowers of chamomile tea, with a spoon of honey. and my favourite types of iced tea is raspberry, or more fruity flavours.

though i have rarely had iced coffee, it is okay. my favourite type of coffee is dark, roasted coffee with or without creamer. either way i am content. the one thing i love to hate is that sat-on-the-burner-all-day stuff you can pick up at gas stations and such.

both but i'm also terribly picky D-: for tea i prefer like, herbal teas. any fruity or flowery tea is also good. i'll drink green tea but it's not my favorite. i always drink my hot tea with honey! oh and i really really love chai tea lattes, hot or iced. also i loooove bubble milk tea, i think it's my very favorite way to drink tea. and finally i love all varieties of arizona tea.

for coffee i really don't like it hot much, i'm very much a blended or over ice kind of person and i prefer it with lots of cream and sugar but not too much. i also usually have to look everywhere for decaf because caffeine tends to mess me up for whatever reason v_v

I prefer tea! I think its better for u and I also think coffee is way too bitter

Definitely coffee, especially cinnamon mochas.

tea !!! specifically, milk tea ><

I like drinking both! The problem is that while coffee has a good aroma and taste, my body doesn't like the acidity so I default to tea in the morning. I usually make a milk tea, and I usually mix my coffee with some milk and sugar.
