Tea versus Coffee

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, but no one mentioned the huge drawback that needs to be said.

Do not drink black tea on an empty stomach. It causes nauseation and you might throw up. I know I always do.

Herbal teas are safe tho

Wait really? Many days my only breakfast is black tea and never had an issue

This definitely sounds like OP might be sensitive to something in the tea

Yes not everyone gets this evidently! There’s a large subset of the population that is sickened by the tannins on the tea, but evidently y’all can just chug that shit and be fine? Wild.

Yeah some people are more sensitive - it’s the tannins that do it.

I’m fine if the tea has a splash of creamer or something, but straight black tea makes me puke lol

I also have this problem with tea but not coffee

norimee ,

I don’t think that is a general rule. Many people drink only black tea in the morning.

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.

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

Keep your hot bean soup, I will drink my boiled landscape baggings.

I love coffee but after my 1 cup in the morning I try not to drink it. My goto tea is Mate or Carceja.

hubobes ,

Coffee, 4-5 cups a day and usually one an hour or so before bed. It somehow helps me sleep…

Been tested for ADHD? Its effects on your life can be far more wide reaching than its name suggests.

I rarely drink either as I’m caffeine sensitive, but if I need a few sips to get me going I go for the burnt bean soup over the dirt tasting weak leaf soup

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.

Xavienth ,

Am I weird for drinking neither? If you’re not used to drinking them, you have to add so much to them to make them taste good, and I just never got into it.

Very occasionally I drink pop, so that and chocolate (a lot of chocolate) are where my caffeine consumption comes from, but the caffeine isn’t the point.

norimee ,

I never understood why it has to be one or the other.

Sometimes I prefer coffee, sometimes some green tea in the morning, sometimes a cup of matcha if I’m feeling fancy. A cup of lavender tea with honey in the evening can be pure bliss, but an Italian affogado (espresso with vanilla icecream) in the afternoon can also be really perfect.

Btw it is also possible to like cats AND dogs.

THIS /\ /\ /\

I will say that 99% of the time I prefer coffee in the morning. It’s not even the caffeine, but the aroma and flavor. Coffee has just an overwhelming flavor, like it just grabs your mouth and puts it in a headlock.

Tea is my preferred midday or night drink. A more mellow taste, and can be very different.

I think most normal, reaaonable humans agree that both coffee and tea are good, and that both cats and dogs are cute. People just have a preference and like to joke around about that.

I have to concede though, that are some legitimately crazy people who go 100% team XYZ and leave no space at all for the positive sides of the other team.

Tea-bag tea first thing in the morning, strong, with milk. Light/medium-roast speciality filter coffee with breakfast, or mid-morning. If I’m having another caffeine drink in the afternoon it would ideally be nice leaf tea, black, green or oolong definitely without milk. But if I’m at work or out and about sometimes just another mug of tea-bag tea.

Macallan ,

I prefer flavored (not sweetened) iced tea and drink it almost daily. I absolutely love the smell of coffee grounds, but loathe the taste of coffee. To me it tastes like I imagine a burnt asshole tastes. …Let the downvotes commence…

Tea (PG Tips Original) with milk and sugar.

Coffee. Tea gives me a stomachache. I love the flavor of tea but I never have the willpower to stop steeping it after however many minutes you’re supposed to steep it

@cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world avatar

Interesting. I enjoy both coffee and tea, but I also take tea as a cure for a stomach ache.

meekah ,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah tea with honey is the first thing I make when I wake up with a stomach ache.

Maybe removing the tea bag is essential? Idk haha

NigelFrobisher ,

Tea. Yorkshire. Hot.

Mrkawfee ,

Coffee in the morning and early afternoon.

Tea in the late afternoon.

Herbal tea at night.

Always black.
