    Pompous Tea. Is that from Darjeeling?

    Between tea and coffee, there is no choice. I drink both with enthusiasm. There is little finer than sipping a good black coffee in a Paris cafe, or an espresso in Naples, or an oilslick of wonderment in Istanbul. And so on, you get the picture. Coffee is very much an international experience because many cultures can make fabulous coffees.

    Foreigners however cannot make tea.

    For comfort, I am in accord with Somebody Else - I drink brown. Properly timed and stewed, brown is the finest drink for the depths of the soul known to mankind.

    Voted coffee as I cannot stand tea and do love a nice strong black coffee. Has to be filtered though none of that instant rubbish.
