Tea, but no one mentioned the huge drawback that needs to be said.

Do not drink black tea on an empty stomach. It causes nauseation and you might throw up. I know I always do.

Herbal teas are safe tho

I love coffee but after my 1 cup in the morning I try not to drink it. My goto tea is Mate or Carceja.

Coffee, 4-5 cups a day and usually one an hour or so before bed. It somehow helps me sleep…

Coffee. Tea gives me a stomachache. I love the flavor of tea but I never have the willpower to stop steeping it after however many minutes you're supposed to steep it

Coffee in the morning and early afternoon.

Tea in the late afternoon.

Herbal tea at night.

Always black.

Both. If I can get up before lunch I will have a morning tea, then an afternoon coffee, & often an even tea—or if I have access to mate or guayusa (difficult here).

I used to be a heavy diet soda drinker, but my body hasn’t been responding well to it with stomach cramps in recent years. I used to hate tea since sweet tea & Nestea was all that was on offer where I grew up. I developed a highfalutin tea taste accidently when one of my old apartments was near a coffee/tea shop I would go to after work where due to free water to resteep, tea was a better bargain for the caffeine & they only had really good loose leaf (I would just have the staff recommend me something new each time). My face when I first went to the UK, known for the tea-loving stereotypes, on business after developing a taste. I rolled into a random café with my newly acquired tea knowledge & asked what sorts of teas they had to the response of “black & green”, Naïvely, “Umm, okay. Where is your green tea from?” She lifts an object, looks me in the eye with a vocal eyeroll “this box”. Working-class tea is very different to what I accidently became accustomed to.

Coffee was the same where it was gross instant Folger’s on the grandparents’ breath growing up. I would occasionally order a latte or mocha (no sugar) just to break up the monotony of tea now in Thailand where outside of the northern region, there is little understanding of good tea (just a flavor to add to your condensed milk lol). But the indie coffeeshops with friendly baristas slowly over the course of many years taught me how to taste the variety single-origin coffees offer. I would say I now slightly prefer coffee since the flavor gamut is broader & I found stuff I truly enjoy finally.

For that reason tho, I keep the kettle at home for tea only since I can buy the good stuff in bulk inexpensively to handle myself whereas I keep the coffee for the cafés so I have a good excuse actually leave the home when I work remote.

I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I've got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels... a bit disconnected from coffee proper.

I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only

I prefer flavored (not sweetened) iced tea and drink it almost daily. I absolutely love the smell of coffee grounds, but loathe the taste of coffee. To me it tastes like I imagine a burnt asshole tastes. ...Let the downvotes commence...

Tea (PG Tips Original) with milk and sugar.

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

I really like both. I have to have coffee in the morning so I guess if I had to pick one that would be it.

I love a good chai that will take my lunch money though

I'm from a country that adores mint tea. I drink coffee.

I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I'll always have both stocked in my pantry.

I prefer iced tea, but my honey makes me a coffee every morning when he makes his, so i drink it and enjoy it. I like a nice coffee or with dessert sometimes or occasionally an espresso in the afternoon. I like hot tea but don't really enjoy it unless it's cool out.

I rarely drink either as I'm caffeine sensitive, but if I need a few sips to get me going I go for the burnt bean soup over the dirt tasting weak leaf soup

Coffee in the morning, tea anytime after. Tea especially when it's cold. Great taste, zero calories, zero guilt.

I find I like coffee in the mornings, but prefer tea in the afternoon.

Coffee because tea doesn't contain caffeine... I think I only drink tea when I'm sick and I add a ton of honey and lemon juice so it doesn't even tastes like tea anymore.

Neither, they both just taste like bitter water
