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

Brits get a pass on the coffee/tea thing, as long as you don't eat cucumber sandwiches with them. East Asian nationals do as well. Everyone else needs to drink coffee. IT'S THE LAW.
Re: Tea or Coffee?
It is so funny! Americans preferred tea when the British were loving their coffee. The Americans switched to coffee because of tax and patriotism and the Brits switched to tea because of taxes. Both were well over 200 years ago and it has just been ingrained into the cultures.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
Just about any speciality blend from Twinings will do for me, with Lady Grey being the usual teabag being thrown into my cup; it's very rare that I have bog-standard normal tea these days.
That's not to say that I'm not partial to coffee, but tea easily wins for me.

I fired up my Breville Crackhead coffee machine this morning and my first cup was a double espresso made with Kenya AA black with the cream blasted with the steamer.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
Lady Grey is an interesting one, more popular amongst young women than Earl Grey now it seems. Which is odd, because it's been around for yonks and I swear no one drank it until a few years ago.
Me, I drink the Early Grey, but I have coffee first thing.
Except when camping, when I drink Cofftea.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
A smack to the face is usually enough for me.
But if I had to choose, I would go with coffee.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
I usually have Earl Grey along with breakfast, as the sharper taste from the bergamot oil really peps me up in the morning; Lady Grey feels like more of an afternoon tea, since the flavours are balanced and alot more delicate on the palate as a result.

Re: Tea or Coffee?
Why tea ofc ! :)
I , like many, drink earl grey.. sometimes a green earl grey for the late evenings. However I am drinking a second-flush tea from India atm.. It's really good actually
I would usually stick to the black tea as it gives a kick to the brain : p
