I just put caffine powder between my gum and lip wtf you guys fighting about
OP drinks black dark roast Folgers from a Mr. Coffee drip machine.
I dunno man have you tasted coffee? It's like making out with a pack a day smoker
Bruh. What kind of coffee are you buying?
Plenty of teas aren't even made of leaves.
Then it's not tea, it's an infusion or decoction.
Tea is made from a specific plant, the tea shrub (Camellia sinensis).
These infusions might be called tea, but they are tea in the same way as a hotdog is a heated companionable mammal.
Except if you talk about Kukicha, then it's made from the stems of the tea shrub. The important part here is the tea shrub. Without tea in it, it just ain't tea.
Technically, these are all decoctions, and "decoction of tea (the plant)" has become just "tea", which is now colloquially replaced "decoction".
So in the sense I was using tea, as a replacement for "decoction", coffee is a "tea", insofar that the replaced word, "decoction", boiled plant matter drink.
Language isn't quite as black as white as we'd sometimes wish it was.
So you're not wrong, per se, but neither am I.
Thing is, I like both but much prefer unsweetened hot tea to black coffee. Unsweetened cold tea is horrible though. Sweetened & hot? I’ll swap between.
I always thought that a good cup of coffee needs to taste like shit, that's part of the charm. I enjoy coffee, but it's not, like, delicious.
Tea is a fickle mistress, too. It's very easy to make an overly bitter cup of tea, and tea bags tend to taste awful no matter how you prepare them. A good cup of tea takes effort and good quality loose leaf. God I love tea.
It really depends on the tea, I've had some black tea that's absolute dog shit but I'll murder someone for Jasmine tea or god forbid some homemade chai
I'm still more of a coffee drinker tho
They're both just dirty water
You can make tea out of like anything though. Like different dried fruit make some of the best teas imho.
No. Only tea is tea. If there's no actual tea leaves in it then it's an infusion. Not goddamn tea. You may as well soak orange peels in hot water and call it "orange coffee", it makes zero sense.
