myself is a tea person. I love green tea in particular. tea's flavor is subtle than coffee and chocolate but the taste is haunting. while the taste to everyone's taste bud varies, the health benefit is common. drinking tea can help you stay in good shape. it counteract cholesterol and blood fat. It banish fatigue, stimulate the mental power and raise the level of energy. It keep you alert and stay relax at the same time. and drink green tea daily can even prevent cancer. remember though, the way you making tea is very important. make it the wrong way ruins the health benefit. when you make tea, never let the tea leave stay in water more than 2 minutes.

it is better adding honey than sugar to you tea if you like it a little sweet. drinking tea with someone you love can be a romantic thing especially with music on.

I do not like both coffee or tea. I just enjoy drinking the pure water. The doctors say coffee is not good to our health. I only drink coffee when I am very sleepy. In this case, coffee really help. For tea, I think it is too complicated to make. I enjoy living a simple life. So usually I do not drink tea.

yes, making tea can be quite complicated especially if you want to make it well. the water you use, the temperature of water, the tea pot and cup, and make time, every one factor can effect the quality of the tea. drinking pure water is also essential for your health. it is said one should drink 8 glasses of water daily, about 2 L.

Hello Chameleon. I don't drink coffee, or instant coffee or cappuccinos at all so i guess to answer your question i would be a tea person. The only bond that i have with coffee is that i like the smell (of the beans before it's prepared) and that i sometime drink energy drinks (that contain the same amount of caffeine that is located in a cup of coffee).
I drink any kind of tea in principle: black, green, flavored (mostly).

hey elitess, I am just like you that I just like the smell of coffee but I don't quite like the taste of it. I just don't think it tastes well unless added milk and sugar. Tea is different, do not does it smell good, it taste good without adding anything else.

My husband loves coffee and I love tea. Every morning I make him drink a big cup of green tea with me. And this has become our routine.I believe there are many health benefits of drinking tea. The antioxidants in tea can build up our immune system and help ward off many diseases. Read: http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/tea.html

yes, I know that there are antioxidants in tea and they can prevent cancer. btw, I also know there are a lot of health benefits in honey. so if you want to make the coffee or tea taste sweet, you had better add honey instead of sugar.

i like both but most of the time i use to drink tea. coffee only when i feel like or someone visits me. otherwise i prefer tea. but don't take more then 2-3 cups a day as people say that it contains nicotine which can be harmful for your body. so don't dare to take more cups.....i am little bit health conscious

do everything in moderation. it also applies to drinking tea. but I believe it is okay to drink a little more than 3 cups daily.

I drink herbal tea too, especially when I feel something wrong with my body, such as a sore throat.

In the past year, I have began to drink coffee and I can say that I still prefer my tea to coffee. However, I must say that I do enjoy coffee and I love flavored coffee. I am currently drinking caramel drizzle coffee with chocolate caramel creamer. Yummy!!!!! Do you drink iced tea as well?

I like tea but I love coffee just the smell makes me want some. I like my coffee cold and more milk then anything and to me it taste more like a dessert then coffee. When I go get a coffee from starbucks it fills me up. I'm sure its packed with calories since there is cool whip and carmel on the top of it. I have been trying to stay away from coffee. I was so hooked on it that I would get a headache when I didn't get it.

I never knew not to let the tea stay in the water more than two minutes! Thanks for the tip! I love coffee first thing in the morning, really good, fresh ground coffee. But also love tea during the rest of the day. Green tea is my favorite, it has such a nice taste and so many health benefits. I have also heard that it can help you lose weight, though it hasn't helped me any. I am a smoker and know that it is very good for your lungs. Now I know how to make it the right way maybe I will get more results!

I have been dinking coffee all this while. It has become a habit.
Looks like tea has so much health benefits. Probably I should also try tea to benefit my health. The only problem with me drinking tea is that it will keep me awake all night through, even if I drink it in that same afternoon.

I like both of them.
I always drink coffee in the afternoon, which could help me to keep clear-headed. I will drink tea in the evening after the dinner,that will clear my stomach. That's very healthy, I think,hehe

I am a coffee person. I like coffee a lot. It is my companion while doing a lot of tasks in a day. But I don't consume too much. Because it is also bad for the health.

Hi, chameleon7! I prefer tea over coffee. When I drink tea, it soothes my mind. I feel less stressed and tired. It makes me feel better inside my body. I agree tea is very nutritious. I heard that white and green tea is good for us. If green tea prevents Cancer, then I am going to start to drink more of it. Cancer is the world's #1 disease. And it is a deadly disease that affects many Americans. I am glad that you have informed us about what positive benefits that drinking tea can do for us. I will keep this information in mind. Thanks!

If I drink coffee its only cold. I dont like hot coffee at all. I drink tea ALL THE TIME. I usually dont drink it hot unless it is cold outside or I am sick. I drink the sleepy time tea hot occasionally. I make a TON of tea here weekly. All the kids drink it and so does my husband so we go thru alot of it, to say the least. I like regular and green tea. I like Nestea, Lipton, Sobe, Arizona, and just about all the other kids. They each have a different flavor and it depends on what looks good at the time. The tea I make at home though is just regular brewed tea with sugar.

i prefer tea....being from the southern part of the United States, sweet tea is a staple!!! nothing beats a tall glass of sweet tea in the summer, sitting outside, smelling the grass and nature itself....coffee is ok, but ive never been a coffee person (until recently) but STILL prefer sweet tea more than anything!!!!!
