Do you drink tea? do u love it or hate it? Do u prefere coffe? Discuss! When do you like to drink it......is it only the British that drink lots of it???

Tea's not from 'britishland.' You need to be more specific.

Coffee and tea are both awful. I really can't understand how anyone can drink that stuff.

I'm British, therefore I drink tea. Tea-drinking is a requirement of the Citizenship Test, along with swearing allegiance to the Queen and being able to talk about the weather for at least five minutes without repetition.

I don't like hot drinks, I've got a very sensitive mouth. I do, however, like the taste of various flavors of tea, so I tend to just ice it down and go from there.

Coffee all tastes the same to me - mud flavor. I actually used to work at Starbucks for a while, and I witnessed many accounts of complete bullshittery being implemented, such as the way they described the "taste" of the coffee of the day.


"Bright and shiny". "Clean." "Unexpected". "Full." "Earthy."


What the hell are these people on?

I drink tea, just because it just tastes good.

I presume he's not counting that strange beverage made from tea leaves but without any milk.

I'm sure they all make sense:

Bright and shiny = we have new cups
Clean = we remembered to wash the cups
Unexpected = actually tastes like coffee
Full = you'll spill it on your new suit
Earthy = we forgot to wash the cups

I love both coffee and tea, especially english breakfast tea. Though, I try to drink as much decaf as possible.

green tea

I have had a cup of tea within the last hour.

Aghh, limey heathens. *Mutters something about taking perfectly good tea, and dumping milk in it *. ;)

Actually, the tea in the US tastes like shit - too much african in the blend. But if you go to the chinese or indian markets you can get some really yummy stuff, that doesn't need milk.

i like to have tea when i arrive home from school....it relaxes me (at 4pm)

Coffee is about as vital to me as oxygen. I never really liked tea until a British friend of mine when I lived in Germany made me some. I'm convinced that most people who don't like tea have just never had any worth drinking, much like beer.

The Iraqis also make a fine tea. Very very sweet and very very strong.

There are few problems in life made worse by having a nice cup of tea.

Coffee, however, is essential when trying to haul my arse out of bed and towards work at 830am, and keeping me awake throughout the day.

Well, since I live in the US, I am forever drinking somthing that is almost, but not quite, totally unlike Tea.

I do make a pretty good Yerba Mate though. :p
