Tea or Coffee???

well... which one do you go for?!!!

PurpleFistMixer · 17-10-2004 9:50pm

I dislike both of them, but if I HAD to choose, it'd be tea. But only apple tea... Coffee is too bitter for me, I just don't have a taste for it. Give me a good hot chocolate any day. =D

Tiriel · 17-10-2004 9:53pm

apple tea!!! what! yikes! ah no.. a good old brew of Barry's tea.. nothing like it!

PurpleFistMixer · 17-10-2004 9:55pm

I tried it in Turkey. It's sort of like... apple juice, only hot. And more watery.

Tiriel · 17-10-2004 9:57pm

hmmm.. sounds interesting..

guess I'll have to wait till I'm in Turkey tho!!!

PurpleFistMixer · 17-10-2004 9:58pm

You can probably get it here.. I just haven't seen it anywhere.

Coffee. Black. Strong. Sugary.
*runs off to put kettle on*

Tiriel · 17-10-2004 10:01pm

terrible isn't it.. only the mention of it and it's like a calling.. :eek:

Hal1 · 17-10-2004 10:08pm

cant beat a good ole mug of scald tbh

Zaph · 17-10-2004 10:23pm

If I tell you which I prefer will you make me a cup?

Tiriel · 17-10-2004 10:26pm

If I could I would!! how about a virtual cuppa!!

Zaph · 17-10-2004 10:38pm

Grand, cuppa tea please, just a wee drop of milk and a couple of big sugars. And none of your oul' Barry's muck, a proper cup of Lyons please (or Bewleys if you want to be posh). What is it with Cork people's obsession with Barrys?

Tiriel · 17-10-2004 10:41pm

ah you have to support the local brew!! only right!! Lyons is nice too though.. twould do if you were stuck

Agent Smith · 18-10-2004 1:01am

coffee, havent drank tea for about 6 years now, cant stand the taste of it

Tiriel · 18-10-2004 1:04am

guess it's a matter of taste.. wierd.. most strongly favour one over the other... I never drink coffee.. and I do like it.. but it reminds me of all nighters in college!!! :eek:

pixie_student · 18-10-2004 1:08am

Not a big coffee drinker anymore

I hate when people put more milk in their tea than actual tea. Why don't they just drink warm milk?

Hal1 · 18-10-2004 9:07am

Yea, I hate floods of milk in the tea. Anyone ever tried tetleys tea its propa boi I tell ye or bewleys :cool:

OLDYELLAR · 21-10-2004 10:41pm

Ah sure, whatever you're making, I don't want to be any bother

Gilgamesh · 22-10-2004 9:23am

Have any of you guys ever tried tea what isn't in the bag?
I mean good, green or black loose tea?
would like to know if anybody here bothers with it, since most of you seem to prefer tea to coffee

I'll have some of the stranger teas when I'm in both the right café and mood. A bunch of leaves dumped in a pot, left to stew and poured through a strainer. Some very nice tasting teas available like that. Particularly Green Assam and some Japanese teas...

Gilgamesh · 22-10-2004 9:28am

do you know of any cafe's which sell loose tea?
I don't really know of any

Sarky · 22-10-2004 9:31am

That depends on whether you live in Galway or not. If you do, then give Bananaphoblacht or Javas a go.

Gilgamesh · 22-10-2004 9:55am

I'm in Dublin, that explains a lot then.
would you try other teas, or just the green tea?

JimmyL · 22-10-2004 10:00am

Is there something wrong with the clock or are there lots of early birds here!

I like both. On the coffee front, prefer expresso (no sugar and freshly grounded), also like Colombrian and Java (no milk and no sugar - the way coffee should be drunk).

Tea wise - Earl Grey (Marks and Spencer - wife's choice) - again no milk and no sugar (where did adding milk to drinks come from?). Used to drink tea with milk while in college - cann't remember why I stopped. It's not that I don't like milk as I drink the stuff.

Also some asian tea (leaves) - no milk of course.

Currently drinking a crappy cup of Kenco from the office canteen.

Tea or Coffee???
