Re: Tea or Coffee?
I enjoy both. Dark coffee (espresso strength) w/cream ans sugar, or black with sugar. Black tea with cream, cream and sugar, just sugar, honey, or honey and lemon--depending on the type of tea. Green tea always straight up, preferably sencha or genmaicha. Love chai tea too. Toga loves wondrous variety.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
I drink both. As for brands, I really couldn't care less. Instant coffee does the trick and any handy tea bag's fine by me. I used to prefer the former, though I've since discovered the joy of really bloody strong tea without too much sugar in it. Currently If I'm making a brew for myself and others, I'll put their bags in my mug and leave it to stew for a bit. Much better than the sweet, milky gnats' whizz I grew up drinking.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Tea or Coffee?
I prefer coffee over tea. I live in the south though, so sweet tea is always around.

I've happened to be drinking tea only when at home late at night. Out, I'm going for green tea and other herbal/fruit teas.
Coffee has become essential 'coz I can't complete the waking up process before having one at 8 in the morning. I used to favour Turkish coffee over all sorts but nowamonths filter coffee is at the top of the list. No matter how, my coffee is black, so is my tea unless it's green.

Espresso, none other than Illy. Black.
Re: Tea or Coffee?
I like both. Coffee in the morning to kick start my day. Tea in the afternoon & evening *with cookie* to sooth the savage beast within. Don't know why, but the caffeine kick in coffee disrupts my sleep at night if drunk after noon-time. Tea doesn't have that affect on me.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
Mouzaf,
What kind of coffee do you use for your Turkish coffee, and how big\small a cup?
We can get a killer Kenya AA black a few towns over. I might grab some today and try that.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
I may be wrong, but I believe "turkish coffee" refers to the method it's prepared and served and not a special variety of coffee.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
I think you're right. But some types of coffee must be better, or more "classical", for a proper Turkish coffee.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
I drink both, but prefer coffee. With milk and sugar or sugar alone. Enjoy latte, cappuccino or macchiato very much.
Not a big fan of tea, but I can enjoy it on occasions; goes best with cookies. Love turkish apple tea.
Nothing beats coffee+chocolate though; that's a match made in heaven
