Poll question: Coffee or Tea?
Well?

And no smartass "I only drink water" or "I prefer coke" answers... I'm not talking to you!

And if you care to share a particular variety of coffee or tea, please do.

I prefer mocha, but since it's bad for me, I'm drinking green tea lately. I had to drink black today, though, since I forgot my tea. Now I'm grouchy. x(

Oh and I tried chai tea and it was very nutmeggy. I think they're all different, though, right?

1. I hate coffee, but I like tea.
But I'm not particularly fond of green or chai tea. Gimme straight black with a little sweetener.

3. I love the smell of coffee, but I cannot drink it
I puke if I drink coffee. It seems so.... unAmerican. :shrug:

I love tea - especially chai. Especially with soymilk.

5. It does smell wonderful.
When I drink regular I like it black... but then I want to drink it all day, so that's bad.

Are all chai teas the same? I wasn't really crazy about the nutmeggyness... but if there are different blends I'll keep looking.

7. They all taste different to me
And I'm basically rushed in the morning, so I buy an aeseptic box of Pacific brand Chai. Lazier than brewing it myself, but kinda handy when I'm trying to herd people out the door in the morning.

Keep trying, if you kinda like it. You might find one that suits you. Some of the chais are sweeter than others. I don't notice the nutmeg taste, though - what brand was it that you tried?

11. I don't know what brand it was...
I bought it at a coffee shop... I guess I should've asked. It was nice, but not exactly my cup of tea. (haha!)

Thanks for the info... I shall keep trying different ones. :)

8. Why do you hate America?
I drink both. Coffee in the morning to get moving; tea in the afternoon when coffee would make me stay awake all night.
