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?

    Tea always. I mean, coffee sometimes, but my go-to is tea. Yorkshire Gold, 2 sugars, small splash of evaporated milk.

    I love coffee but nowadays I tend to drink tea a lot more. I don’t like the taste of instant coffee, and that’s all I can get at work - so I stick to tea. I also can’t handle caffeine as well as I used to, so I have decaff.

    At home I’ve got a nice coffee machine. I buy decaff beans and grind them - it’s all about the taste for me.

    Mostly only drink tea while I’m sick. I drink coffee every day getting up with my wife, but I’d rarely drink it on my own.

    A few weeks ago my wife went out of town for a long weekend and I had the most persistent headache that wouldn’t go away. When she came back, it went away as soon as I started drinking coffee with her and I realized it was caffeine withdrawal. I hate being physically dependent on coffee, but it’s a big part of our morning ritual.

    I gave up coffee as part of my daily routine, so, tea. I try to switch up with camomile in an effort to moderate the tannins intake.

    Coffee, but I can get the ick from coffee once in a while the way I do with eggs, then it’s either tea or nothing.

    Also add a cup of tea in winter evenings since I don’t wanna go over one cup of coffee a day.

    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.

    Tea all the way. I’m super sensitive to caffeine, so I even have to switch to decaf tea after noon or I’ll be up all night.

    Love using herbs from my garden for tea in the evenings - lavender, lemon balm, peppermint, chamomile

    Never liked coffee. I usually drink Yorkshire tea in the morning, but sometimes mix it up with other black teas. If I drink any during the day, it’s green tea. Evenings are for herbal teas if I have any.

    Coffee for me started as a utilitarian drink for extra focus in the early hours, and then I started liking it. Tea never really had a function for me, so I never got into it in the same way as I did with coffee.
