Tea versus Coffee (lemmy.world)

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?

Wait really? Many days my only breakfast is black tea and never had an issue

This definitely sounds like OP might be sensitive to something in the tea

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Yes not everyone gets this evidently! There's a large subset of the population that is sickened by the tannins on the tea, but evidently y'all can just chug that shit and be fine? Wild.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't think that is a general rule. Many people drink only black tea in the morning.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah some people are more sensitive - it's the tannins that do it.

I'm fine if the tea has a splash of creamer or something, but straight black tea makes me puke lol

I also have this problem with tea but not coffee
