How do you prefer your hot tea or coffee?

It's tea all the way. I prefer tea to coffee, anytime. My morning has to be with a nice cup of Darjeeling tea, I don't get started without it. I am quite a maniac about tea brewing. It has to be near perfect. In office I drink masala tea. The one with masala, milk, tea, lots of sugar. Coffee, if at all I drink, its mostly in the evening when I hang out with friends in a coffee shop. I love cakes with coffee. And I am with you on drinking it hot thing. I just CANNOT drink anything hot. It has to be sufficiently cooled down. people thing I am weird, but that's how i am!

Huh..you are quite observant in this aspect. You noticed all the funny facial twist when people drink from a hot cup of coffee or tea. For all you know they are enjoying it and is expressed in their facial actions. For me, I prefer my drinks to be pipping hot, the aroma of coffee is best when it is just brewed and I would not enjoy my coffee if it has gone to room temperature. It should be hot,hot, hot. Sipping it slowly as I surf or read the morning papers gives me full satisfaction. But on certain cases, when I needed a change I would request my coffee to be cold, I mean ice cold and put in lots of icecubes especially on a hot weather. so it can either be very hot or very cold. It all depends on the condition and time. Teatime or breakfast means it should be hot coffee. Enjoy the hot stuff!

I'm more of a tea drinker but at the same time do indulge in a nice hot cup of coffee especially in the winter season. I prefer either of them as hot as they can be served, sipping it slowly at the same time ,being careful not to burn my lips or my tongue.

I always like to drink hot tea, no matter which season. I rarely drink coffee and when I drink, I drink it hot........If anything I like cold then it is only ice creams......

I think I prefer to have tea. I use to drink a lot of coffee, much more than tea. But then, last summer, I got really sick. My immune system was compromised. Once I got better, I found out that my tastes had slightly changed. And so, I lost taste for coffee, and began to like tea a little more.

Hello dpk.....well I have no winter here in Kerala,and right now the sun is shinning brightly and there is a cool breeze blowing too......Well honestly my preference for coffee or tea depends on my mood.....When I am relaxing,and watching th TV or reading the newspaper,I love to have piping hot tea,and like to sip it little by little ,savouring its taste slowly.But when I am in a hurry I like to drink medium hot tea and like to gulp it down at one go......But if the tea becomes very cold I either like to reheat it or just throw it away......if I have no other choice.......

I like my tea hot but not boiling water level. Whenever it is still too hot to drink i enjoy holding the cup with the palm of my hands so that my cold hands will absorb the heat. I don't like it when my tea gets too cold either. I guess part of enjoying the drink is when it is hot, but i don't want to be burning my tongue so I usually let it sit for a while before i take a sip.

I really like coffee mor than tea and i like to have it in brewing hotness and it really suits my taste..i was relly brought up to drink coffies in their utmost hotness and i really like drinking it hot more than a little cold and yes i used to drink it as such i'm drinking a cool drink and would enjoy it in its fully brewered heat..Happy mylotting...

Hello dpk. I love my tea to cool down before I drink it. Besides, the tea needs to stay for a little while before it tastes good. I drink tea every day when I work in the office during the daytime, but not in the evening as it will keep me awake when it is time to sleep.

Hi Deepak Hope u must be doing well and Enjoying ur HOT drink well i like to drink them Hot, but sure not tooo Hot And to be exact, i start off my tea, coffee or "qehwa" as hot by sip and at the time i end its either cold or Really Cold and i end up leaving some in Cup but sure they give u taste when they are Warm, not too hot, ot cold take care

Hi dpk, You have come out with a discussion apt for the season. I think you are feeling too cool. I am not taking much tea/coffee. If I take my preference is tea but I like coffee also. I don't like hot/cold tea or coffee, I like to have in medium temperature.

Heyya friend! I like to let mine cool too. As a matter of fact I will add cold creamer to my coffee to cool it down a bit. I'm not much of a hot tea drinker but I will drink it cold..usually with ice. I think I enjoy cold drinks more than hot ones although this discussion is making me want a cup of hot chocolate.lol Take care.

Hello my friend dpk262006 Ji, Well, I wish to sip slowly and enjoy with some side music/gossiping in our family. it should not be taken as if i have to catch the train. But, if tea, which i prefer most over coffee, be served in chatty (mud) cups, it would give a different taste altogether. have you ever had that type of thing any where at Railway station. i also like that tea should always be made/prepared and served and not made and brought. While I was in darjeeling area of West-bengal, In December 1962, we used to take tea at cook house of the hotel, if brought, used to be cold. may God bless You and have a great time.

I like my tea or coffee neither too hot.. nor cold.. something that i can sip leisurely.... my hubby used to put ice cubes to cool it down lol... is that funny or wat...

I prefer hot tea than coffee.A glass of tea in the early morning is something special for me.

i like both hot coffee and tea... i drink coffee in the morning but i haven't had any tea in a while... i had some sweet ice tea on thanksgiving and thats the last time ive had it i think.. maybe i'll have some tomorrow! both are good..but i don't really care for coffee any other time but in the morning in less i am really tired then i like some to wake me up no matter the time if i need to be up for something. tea is nice.. i like sweet tea and i can drink it hot or cold.

i am a coffee drinker. i enjoy drinking coffee that is extremely hot. i find satisfaction when i sip it little by little until it becomes warm. i also enjoy stirring it over and over and over.

Hi!!! well i prefer the coffeeeeeeeee!!!! because i really like it but just at afternoon like the 3pm or 4pm!!! i like it the tea a lot but just the iced tea, the hot tea its nice but i like it more the iced tea, and for the afternoon at the 3-4pm!! well have a nice day and hope you will have a very good week ;) see you soon and bye bye.

The funny thing is I grew up on hot tea all of my life. I would say that I have consumed it more than coffee. I will buy coffee when I worked outside of the home or just because. But I only drink hot tea at home. I like my beverages very hot but I will blow it to get the steam off and sip it until it cools down enough for me to drink it because I don't want my lips or tongue burned. However, on a cold winter day anything will do hot tea, coffee, cappucino or hot chocolate. Actually I drink them both all year round!

i like coffee more,not too hot,and drink it every morning after breakfast,a good enjoy,i think!
