I don't prefer tea at all. Iced, hot, green, fruit, it all tastes nasty to me. I only drink coffee when I need to caffeine and then I drink it black. Of course, I also end up completely wired after even one cup so I try not to do that too often.

If what you said means what I think it means.......eh, my family is Swedish and apparently Swedes drink coffee black so it's always been forbidden to add anything to coffee.

Im half-norwegian, half-irish. i was refering to coffe being the stronger beverage

Ah, cool. I just had to make sure; I get confused with those types of expressions sometimes.

I must have had a sheltered life... iced coffee? Earl grey? Green tea?

Just give me Tetley... teabags.

I like both, but coffee is my favourite. I like it best with milk and sugar. With tea it's green tea, rooibos or earl gray with milk and sugar, and chai, with cardamom.

Interesting fact: We drink tea with milk because English porcelain was pretty rubbish back in the day and had a tendency to crack when boiling water was introduced to it. Putting cold milk in the cup first prolonged the life of ye olde crockery until we nicked the secret of posh china from, well, China.......

Well I thought it was interesting anyway....... :evil:

Neither. I like soda, hot chocolate, apple and grape juice (sometimes cranberry), and skim or 1/2% milk.

I can't drink coffee - the caffeine makes me hyper in a bad way. But the caffeine in black tea is perfect in the morning. I like it with milk and sugar. Yum. I think I'll go make some now.

I like both, but prefer the taste of coffee. I drink my coffee with a lot of sugar though.

I prefer coffee – espresso or cappuccino. For an even more intense coffee hit, try a Turkish coffee. It's got a really thick consistency. I can't have too much, but I do enjoy the flavour.
However, I normally start the day with a herbal tea with a little honey added.

I've tried coffee a few times, and I don't like the taste, (once just black, and the other times with flavored creamer in it.) I prefer tea, especially chai tea.
