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?

One coffee in the morning, a cup of strong tea in the early afternoon and herbal in the evening.

Coffee. Caffeine doesn't really work for me in terms of giving me energy, but I like the taste of a nice cup of cortado.

I like tea as well, but can't stand the herbal stuff. Only Camellia sinensis for me.

I love coffee but after my 1 cup in the morning I try not to drink it. My goto tea is Mate or Carceja.

Coffee, 4-5 cups a day and usually one an hour or so before bed. It somehow helps me sleep…

Coffee. Tea gives me a stomachache. I love the flavor of tea but I never have the willpower to stop steeping it after however many minutes you're supposed to steep it

[–] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. I enjoy both coffee and tea, but I also take tea as a cure for a stomach ache.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah tea with honey is the first thing I make when I wake up with a stomach ache.

Maybe removing the tea bag is essential? Idk haha

Tea. Yorkshire. Hot.

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Tea (PG Tips Original) with milk and sugar.

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Am I weird for drinking neither? If you're not used to drinking them, you have to add so much to them to make them taste good, and I just never got into it.

Very occasionally I drink pop, so that and chocolate (a lot of chocolate) are where my caffeine consumption comes from, but the caffeine isn't the point.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I prefer iced tea, but my honey makes me a coffee every morning when he makes his, so i drink it and enjoy it. I like a nice coffee or with dessert sometimes or occasionally an espresso in the afternoon. I like hot tea but don't really enjoy it unless it's cool out.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm from a country that adores mint tea. I drink coffee.

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

[–] Phenomephrene@thebrainbin.org 1 points 11 months ago

I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I'll always have both stocked in my pantry.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I rarely drink either as I'm caffeine sensitive, but if I need a few sips to get me going I go for the burnt bean soup over the dirt tasting weak leaf soup

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 months ago

I really like both. I have to have coffee in the morning so I guess if I had to pick one that would be it.

I love a good chai that will take my lunch money though

[–] Macallan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I prefer flavored (not sweetened) iced tea and drink it almost daily. I absolutely love the smell of coffee grounds, but loathe the taste of coffee. To me it tastes like I imagine a burnt asshole tastes. ...Let the downvotes commence...

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 1 points 11 months ago

I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I've got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels... a bit disconnected from coffee proper.

I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only

[–] folekaule@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Coffee in the morning, tea anytime after. Tea especially when it's cold. Great taste, zero calories, zero guilt.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago

I find I like coffee in the mornings, but prefer tea in the afternoon.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip -1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Coffee because tea doesn't contain caffeine... I think I only drink tea when I'm sick and I add a ton of honey and lemon juice so it doesn't even tastes like tea anymore.

Neither, they both just taste like bitter water
