    Following on from the thread I saw a few minutes ago. I think I know the answer to this one before I ask but I love tea and always have. The last few years the coffee obsession has taken off big time, was never for me tho. Which do you prefer?

    Has to be tea for me all the way .Relitive is always making me tea which is so weak it needs a blood transfusion before sipping .

    Her idea of tea is hot water and milk with the minimum amount of teabag immersion .

    Honestly if she doesn't change her ways and learn how to make decent char i am going back to the mistress (sniff) :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Tea, mana from the Gods.

    I'm not a fan of most of the variety of tea available but green tea holds a special place close to my heart, right a bit, down some and in my stomach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 101 ✭✭enda_4


    Coffee all the way
    Lyons Tea, strong, no sugar. Cant stand a weak cup of tea


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,284 ✭✭✭ivanthehunter


    Tea with food and coffee on its own (and early but not late)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,564 ✭✭✭Naikon


    Jolt cola.
    Failing that, coke or coke zero.
    Tea and coffee are both horrible:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    jolt cola from a can, bottle is mank.

    tea then please no milk, coffee is like what drinking an ashtray would taste like.

    Seriously if i pick up a cuppa tea by mistake and drink the stuff i hurl. Woeful musty retch inducing tea!

    Prefer strong tea with no sugar.
    But I like the occasional Parisian blend coffee with a tiny amount of sucra too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Pj!


    Neither, both are muck. Wheres that option?

    well sorry to crash in on the honeymoon period but you become tolerant to the effects of caffeine after a while. eventually the largest effect it ill have on you is dehydration... having said that though it still doesn't stop me drinking ridiculous amounts of it in a day.

    I used to disagree with people on this, but I tried a can the other day and it they are much nicer than bottles for some odd reason.
    the bottles are too sweet in comparison to the cans/less fizz.
    Anyways, I hate walking by coffee shops and getting that horrible roasted smell which emanates onto the streets.

    I physically wretched many times when I was younger drinking tea when I was ill for instance.
    Haven't touched the stuff in years:D

    I believe they make you less thirsty, being drinks an all..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,350 ✭✭✭WexCan

    Tea white two, ta. Leave the bag in for a few minutes.

    I'll be right here waiting. So nice of boards to provide a tea making service.

    caffeine causes dehydration so tea and coffee will make you more thirsty not less :)

    Never drink coffee, tea is great stuff thouogh.

    Coffee all the way
    You never put an option on the poll for midle-of-the-road-tea! It's neither tar nor milky water, it's hot, it's strong and it's kinda sweet, it warms me up and it tastes delicious all at the same time! :)

    I drink coffee if I'm exhausted and need to stay alert!

    Tea! Strong, splash of milk, no sugar!

    I love fancy coffees too though. Ideally I'd have a cinnamon dolce latte with an extra shot of espresso from Starbucks, but they're not doing that at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix

    Coffee....though I do enjoy an occassional mocha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    I voted "My parents don't allow me have caffeine" Which is obviously not true... However i do not drink it as it does not agree with me. Even decaff coffee (coffee is a laxative).

    However Strong decaff tea is yum and i like herbal / green tea.
    I miss coffee

    i'm a tea man at heart, but i do love my coffee.

    i love tea, has to be weak tho, no sugar and lots and lots of milk - 1/4 tea 3/4 milk. yum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 159 ✭✭HJ Simpson


    Coffee all the way
    God tea mostly at home coffee in work in the morning and tea in the afternoon. The fact that I sit about 10 foot from the tea and coffe making facilities in my office is not good for my figure.

    Tea. I tried coffee a couple of times and found it disgusting.

    I like my tea as strong as I can make it. I squeeze the teabag against the inside of the cup until I'm satisfied I cant get much more out of it.

    I'm having a cup of it right now in fact.

    /Slurp

    Me too, yummy. Love having a pot of tea, so much nicer because the teabags get a good soaking.
