Coffee vs Tea: Statistics and Info

[walterjay]

When I was a kid I used to brew up a pot of coffee/tea. Would mix in tea with the ground coffee and then perc it. It was not bad.

So glad you posted that. I did that as well, albeit but once or twice. Didn't care for it. It seemed like a worthwhile experiment, though.

I've tried to drink tea several times. I find it nearly tasteless. I don't add sugar or cream to anything I drink so maybe that's why it seems tasteless?

The evidence seems to suggest significant health benefits from coffee and tea drinking including large reductions in the incidence of type II diabetes, for coffee at least.

Doc limited me to 1 cup of Joe in the morning. Sometimes I cheat, but you already knew that.

Decaf out of desperation?

I very much doubt that research.

Had one guy yrs ago tell me he preferred tea as it's for the sophisticated. Gladly told him that it's a lame substitute for those that can't handle coffee, especially espresso which is my only interest.

It's a regular coffee with a splash of half/half or nothing. Actually, I have some half-calf Starbucks pods, so there's that.
Doc said 1 cup. I've learned that wanting the coffee, or whatever, is 90% in my head.

I have 2 brain cells left and they argue...

Tea. Earl Grey Hot!

Strong tea with sugar and cream can be bomtastic.

I have no use for hot tea but I do drink unsweetened iced tea every day with my lunch.
I have two cups of coffee in the morning. LOVE it. I will have a cup later in the day now and then if I need something to go along with a Snickers bar or Coffee Cake Jr.
When I used to work with my dad and brother, three o'clock coffee was a big deal at our shop. I drank a lot more coffee back then.
