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 🐈‍⬛

          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

      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.
