Tea or coffee

Ma Deuce · Post by **Ma Deuce** » 2004-02-10 01:31pm

I take a strong cup o' black coffee (no sugar, just a pinch of salt) early in the morning to get my brain working. Any other hot beverages I consume during the day consists of various forms of Tea (usually green tea, cuz I like the way it tastes

).

BTW Mike, not all of the "kick" in Cola comes from caffeine: A 12fl oz. can of Coca-Cola contains 11, thats right 11 tablespoons of sugar!

Actually, I should have voted 'Tea', since I started thinking about I do drink Tea more often. Still, when I've the money, I'll perfer a cappucino or latte instead. Pity I don't have the money often.

Neither. I don't like caffeinated drinks; the only way I'll take it is in chocolate.

Oh, and plus, I don't see the point of decaf tea or coffee. It's like, yeah, tea and coffee don't taste bad, but there are assloads of better-tasting things.

I think coffee tastes awful. Beans and fresh grounds smell great and so does brewing coffee but I can't stand the taste. The flavored coffees are even worse. Not only do they taste like crap they smell bad too.

Tea is okay but I've just don't like it that much. I'm really not much into hot drinks and I drink them even less living in Arizona. There are definately better things to drink than iced tea.

I noticed that beer is on the list too. It also tastes like crap. I've never understood how so many people developed such a taste for that stuff. The buzz effects of alcohol I can understand but gaaahhh it still tastes like crap.

Between tea and coffee I chose coffee. Now beer vs. coffee it all depends on the time of day.

Out of those, tea, but i do like getting addicted to either coke or red bull. Once overdosed on Dr Pepper though. (pissing all night we were)

funny thing about dr. pepper. it seems that out of all the sodas it makes you have to take a piss fucking quick. i'll only need to drink one sixteen ounce bottle of the pepper before needing to take a piss, while i can drink a 24 pack of vanilla coke with no ill effects.

Drinking vanilla coke is an ill effect unto itself.

See an example of the amount of pepper we drank that fateful night:

Oh, and as for coffee, i only drink it if it's drowned out by the taste of chocolate.

I suppose I should ask, for you tea drinkers, what's your poison? I like oolong tea or green tea. And, yes: Tea, Earl Gray, hot.

Bigelow's "Constant Comment" (orange spice tea)
Bigelow's Irish Breakfast Tea... Sweet and White from milk.
Bigelow's Earl Grey or Lady Grey... but only when I have nothing else.

Celestial Seasonings "Sleeptime", "Mountain Chai", "Bengal Spice", "Pepperment Stick", etc.

And Lipton's Family-Sized tea bags, for brewing flavored iced tea. (one family-size bag + one or two Celestial Seasonings bags boiled black in two cups water)

I do like a nice steaming cup of earl grey down my neck early in the morning, but that was a long time ago, these days, he just stands round on a pillar next to the Waterstones duo... obligatory newcastle based innuendo there, sorry, don't mind tetley, brookebond and generic teas, will drink Irish breakfast tea, will avoid all herbal stuff like the plague.

You must really hate your body.

Dr. Pepper (note the correct addition of a "." after doctor unlike the actual can) tastes like fizzy Benylin.

No tea, No Coffee... lots and lots of pepsi max.

Tea, either green, oolong, or jasmine, without cream or sugar. An occasional cup of coffee is also nice, but I don't drink it regularly.

I can't stand tea AND coffee.

I prefer tea, especially the lemon flavors. However, I get most of my caffiene from Mountain Dew.

I should think they'd taste quite sickly together...

Coffee has a strong, butter taste to it that I don't like. Tea is just...blech. I don't know how else to describe it.

Alex Moon · Post by **Alex Moon** » 2004-02-10 05:36pm

Neither. I drink pop on friday nights and maybe saturday. The rest of the week I drink water, juice, and maybe a hot chocolate with a pinch of cayenne if it's cold outside.

Very funny.....

I should have said "tea or coffee".

I prefer the taste of tea, usually a good black tea (I usually buy Earl Grey or Darjeeling) or a chai (BTW, Darth_Zod, chai IS tea, but it's mixed with tons of spices to make it yummier than regular tea). I'll gulp down cup after cup of oolong tea at Chinese resteraunts, but that's the only time I really drink it. Don't care for green tea. Chamomile can help you fall asleep, as can other kinds of herbal tea when you've got a cold and want something hot that won't keep you up.

Coffee's only bearable when in another form (cappucino's nice) or with shitloads of milk and sugar. Oddly enough, I love the taste of coffee in everything BUT coffee. I love coffee ice cream and yogurt, but I can't stand it in actual coffee.

Tea, particularly green or regular with milk and sugar.

Melkor · Post by **Melkor** » 2004-02-10 06:21pm

Earl Grey all the way. Hey that rhymes.

Am I the only one though that drinks my tea with a teaspoon of honey?

RedImperator · Post by **RedImperator** » 2004-02-10 07:18pm

Black regular coffee. Cream and sugar are for pansies.

Black coffee tastes like shit.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-02-10 08:18pm

I like to drink coffee, and fruit teas, but I developed a taste for Lapacho teas with cinnamon...
I can only drink "normal" tea with copious amounts of milk and sugar. Though I do drink coffee with copious amounts of sugar, too

Love my coffee strrrrrrrong

Most people run in fear when I make coffee

And for the record: Starbucks != coffee. Don't know why that is so popular...
