It's a dumb poll because it doesn't have Coffee and Tea.

I like Coffee for Shred but Tea the rest the time.

Do people think its harder to make an excellent cup of tea or coffee?

For me I think the task of making a good cappuccino is far difficulty than making any cup of tea. Plus there are always the ISO standards for making tea that one could follow

ISO standard cup of tea n.

[South Africa] A cup of tea with milk and one teaspoon of sugar, where the milk is poured into the cup before the tea. Variations are ISO 0, with no sugar; ISO 2, with two spoons of sugar; and so on. This may derive from the "NATO standard" cup of coffee and tea (milk and two sugars), military slang going back to the late 1950s and parodying NATO's relentless bureacratic drive to standardize parts across European and U.S. militaries.

Like many ISO standards, this one has a faintly alien ring in North America, where hackers generally shun the decadent British practice of adulterating perfectly good tea with dairy products and prefer instead to add a wedge of lemon, if anything. If one were feeling extremely silly, one might hypothesize an analogous `ANSI standard cup of tea' and wind up with a political situation distressingly similar to several that arise in much more serious technical contexts. (Milk and lemon don't mix very well.)

[2000 update: There is now, in fact, an ISO standard 3103: `Method for preparation of a liquor of tea for use in sensory tests.', alleged to be equivalent to British Standard BS6008: `How to make a standard cup of tea.' - ESR]

tea < coffee

My favorite is probably green tea, though earl grey and the kind that they serve at Chinese restaurants are pretty good, too.

But, mate rules by far the most.

China, I have something you might want, but it's going to cost you. That's right...all the tea...

Edit: Oops, put 'But, mate rules by far the most,' twice.

anyone like herbal teas? i havent tried any that i like, there not really tea though anyway. Theres no tea in it.
green tea is supposed to be pretty good for you, but i dont think it tastes as good as black tea.

I love green tea with honey

I need coffee on occasion

I prefer tea though, all the way

Rasperry is good too

I prefer honey in my tea, because it's better for your throat and melts if you lower it in hot tea slowly for easy mixing

I'm a big tea fan. Yerba Mate is definitely my favorite tea. I really enjoy black teas as welll. coffee does have it's place though. Nothing will wake me up for early morning work better than coffee.

I like both tea and coffee. i get in different moods. I like the tastes and health factor of teas more, but sometimes i like a good cup of coffee.

I drink tea when I'm ill... like now!

There's nothing like a good well-made cup of coffee. Yum!

I'm having my morning coffee right now! I love that kick it gives me early in the day, gives me good thoughts about music and footbag to come later in the day. Also, there's no work today, so I'm going to finish my coffee and work on a new song. It puts me in a good mood, which helps me focus on what is inspiring me. I am also having my morning tea at the moment

Kerouac's favorite...

I'm not a big hot drink fan. I know tea is good for me but could never force myself to get into the hot tea habit. I've just recently discovered that Lipton's green (iced) tea with citrus drink. It is awesome! I am gonna start drinking that and trying other cold tea drinks instead of pop now (unless I am REALLY craving pop for some reason). I am one step closer to being healthier (I'm somewhat of a health freak).

I want to try that new white tea from Snapple, but I can't find it anywhere.

Werd, I can officially say I am addicted to caffeine like no other, if I don't get my morning coffee I have to prepare for headaches. I would cut back or stop, but I don't wanna! Growing up in Europe definitely nurtured my love for coffee...

I love coffee, I really really love it. Te way nature intended, black, no sugar. But I'm glad I can say I'm not addicted

I have no issues "waking up" without it either, it doesn't seem to affect me that much. I can drink coffee right before bed no problems.

Mum just got this espresso coffee stuff cuse it's new and it sucks

I WANT MY GOLD BACK!

i like coffee better, but cant drink it past about 3pm. otherwise, it makes my stomach hurt. so i drink soda or tea, usually tea.

coffe is basically 2/3 coffe, with alittle milk and 2 spoons of sugar

tea is just very sweet. prolly 2-3 spoons per glass, buti make it by the gallon.

my favorite tea ive ever had was mint tea from a hooka bar. some place on broadway down town i think. oh well. it was tha shit.

I didn't vote cuz I like both. Not a big fan of hot tea, though. Iced tea has replaced carbonated drinks.

1. You need to chill out.

3. Tea.

Tea. But making a good cup of tea is in my opinion difficult.

I don't generally drink coffee, but when I do I am more of an espresso person....
