I love tea more than coffee. Infact till i was 24 years i dont drink both. I dont like both of them initially. Infact if i have some stomach issues or vomiting sensation i dont want to drink any of them. I started liking cardamom tea a lot these days. It is made specially in our office and i feel it is good and rejenuvating. My parents like coffee over tea. I know why the caffeine in coffee has a boosting effect. But having it for a very long time affects the body a lot. After all caffeine is a drug. Share ur thoughts on the same.

Coffee is my first love. I take it even during summer, even right after lunch. It is quite refreshing and I think it has something in it that you won't let it go out of your life. I seldom drink tea although I like it too. Tea, I was told, has some anti-oxidant in it. So better take it once in a while.

I am a definite coffee drinker in the morning. I've tried a lot of different types of teas, and just could never develop a taste for them. You would think with an English background this wouldn't be so, but that's the way it is.

I prefer coffee over tea as well. Drink coffee whenever I need a boost in alertness especially when I need to be awake until wee hours in the morning. I don't drink it a lot since your body get to be immune then you have to increase the dose or the number of cups for you to have the same effects. Like you said, coffee is addictive and anything that is too much is very bad.
I drink tea whenever I ate meals that are cooked heavily in oils so that they can be flushed out of my system. Don't drink tea on an empty stomach because it will eat away your intestines. Thus, thinning the intestine lining.

Both have caffeine sometimes tea has more caffeine so they are just addictive I guess. Caffeine lowers your stimulus need so in turn you respond faster that is why its convenient when working.

I would turn the offer of both coffee and tea. i never really cared for either one to drink.. I would rather drink hot chocolate or cola to get my caffeine rush. I am not sure if drinking coffee or tea has a good or bad effect on the body. It is not something i will probably try.

Friend usually i use to drink tea but some times if climate is too cold then i will go for a cup of coffee. I like to have both but not at a time. Coffee effects not earlier but tea too have problem by taking up to a long time. So better we should be in balanced condition means we should not have both more and more it should be in a limit.

I rarely drink tea, I love coffee. There were the times when my stomach ached, I had to drunk hot tea with chamomile. I also get to drink tea during December, at the start of Misa de Gallo when there are lots of rice cakes and "puto bumbong" with tea on the side. But then, I can't resist the need for coffee.

I love coffee over tea the most. But, in the summer I can only handle on cup of coffee in the morning as it makes me hot. I have started making 9 months ago, sweet peach tea and just can't get enough of my iced sweet peach tea in the summer. In the winter, I can drink coffee all day long. Though at night, I love hot tea. There is one called Sweetime tea that relaxes me before bedtime. I love to add a little milk, lemon and honey to the tea. So, the only time I drink it hot in more the winter evening. :)

i love coffee over tea to be honest. Coffee just seem like the right notion for the morning time. Especially if you are getting up just to see the sunrise. But thats only my opinion for real. If im drinking is only for to reason one "im sick" or two im if im eating crumpits lol

I prefer coffee when I get up, but prefer tea all through the day and at night when I am working. Cardamom in tea is, as you said, rejuvenating! Coffee is much stronger than tea as regards caffeine.
Do you know that having tea at set times during the day, is a ritual in Japan?
Here is a picture of a stimulating, invigorating and rejuvenating cup of tea!

I definitely prefer tea over coffee. From a younger age itself I have preferred tea over coffee. I generally prefer Ginger tea, though I also like cardamom tea and herbal tea. If I have throat infection, then I also take black tea which helps. On the other hand when I drink coffee it increases the cough in me.
Cheers!

I like both tea and coffee.I like to have a hot cup of plain tea early in the morning and coffee after my breakfast.I dont drink more than that during the course of the day.Sometimes I have a cup of tea in the evening when I have family and friends around.Generally I make it with ginger and elaichi and with some snacks it is great to have ..all the best

I prefer coffee over tea because i find pleasure when I'm drinking coffee. And for me it is beneficial because it is anti-oxidant.
Also, it helps me not to sleep when I need to study late.

I like tea more than coffee. In fact, I don't drink coffee at all. I just have this opinion that tea is healthier. Though both contain caffeine, I've seen my aunt go berserk at the slightest provocation because of too much coffee intake, and I don't want that to happen to me.
Besides, there are a lot of types of tea. I'm inclined to green tea at the moment. :)
