    Tea all the way for me. Earl Grey first brew of the day. Can't stand coffee, smell or taste!

    Builders tea will do. I don't wait any fancy perfume from my tea thank you.

    lately, I've been compelled to order tea - twice at a coffee shop, and twice in restaurants. But usually I opt for some coffee.

    :eek: :D LOL! Brandy is definitely not my favorite ;)

    But I don't drink any alcohol, believe it or not. I'm definitely an iced Americano person sometimes; or used to be. Lately I opt for cold-brew coffee instead if I want something cold that I don't have to wait to drink.

    With no ice. :|

    Coffee in the morning and tea for the rest of the day

    Both have their time and place. Loose leaf tea is perfect on rainy or cooler afternoons, but ever since I’ve discovered the “pour-over-coffee” process, my coffee is perfect every time. I’m not interested in machines or my Keurig, anymore.

    Deidre darlin', as I've discovered and as I've indicated on here several times, my coffee tastes a whole lot better with a small tot of Brandy added to it !!!

    Tea should really be milk-less though not so often that's not the case,- with 'a brew'

    A coffee in the morning and a cuppa tea if I am parched. You need to have the right water to make a good cup of tea, not too hard.

    I live on top of a mountain of chalk, so we all have 'hard' water here, which is one of the reasons why I like to add a tot of Brandy to my morning coffee.

    Having recently moved from a very hard water place to a much softer water place in Yorkshire... Tea drinking is much nicer ☕️

    Tea for me, especially first drink of the day. But having moved to a hard water area recently, my enjoyment has been tempered :(

    Coffee has a stronger taste than tea, so drink coffee instead in a hard water area, (like I do) but as I've already indicated, I add a tiny tot of Brandy to my coffee too.

    yes that is just too perfect! I nearly bought some brandy yesterday, I kinda want one now…otherwise it’s - coffee on a weekday/workday morning, earl grey on a day off…with milk though, which is apparently a sin?!
