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?

Coffee is just too bitter for me unless I overload it with way more cream and sugar than is healthy. At that point all the caffeine and sugar makes me way too jittery. On the other hand, I enjoy drinking tea black, so tea it is.

I enjoy Earl Grey tea plain, but I can't call it "black," even though it's "black tea." Because it's orange-ish brown. 🐈

Black coffee is much blacker 🐈‍⬛

Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.

In my childhood teas were all named with colours. Mostly black, red and green. Green being mint and red fruity teas.

Yeah, I guess "black tea" is a bit of a misnomer. It's probably just simpler to share the terminology with coffee though

It's called black tea because of the color of the leaves, not the final product

Fair enough

I recently discovered cold brew coffee for myself (bought a cold brew jug on a whim at TJmaxx as one does) and I love how the coffee just doesn't have any bitterness anymore. The slow stewing in cold water really pulls out the flavour without the acidity.
