Tea, clearly. Those who are on coffee (especially heavy drinkers) have their nerves too "moronized" to enjoy the delicate stimulation provided by a good tea.

I enjoy many kinds of teas (blacks and green ones) but the best is clearly the white tea. It's from the best part of the plant from the spring harvest. But one has to know how to prepare it (water temperature, infusion time).

Has anyone tried this brand Honest Tea? Usually I'm not a fan of packaged tea drinks, but these are actually very good. Really not too sweet at all with a very healthy tea flavor. I'd recommend it.

I don't like coffee, at all, really. (I know, I'm unusual).

I do like some teas ... but I go through them very slowly. Truthfully, I'm a boring water person if anything. LOL

Still, vote goes to tea.

Coffee, preferrably strong enough to allow my spoon to stand straight up in the cup. Not a big hot tea fan, but I do enjoy iced tea, unsweetened.

Somebody brought in some fresh "loose leaf" rooibos. Very delicious.

I just read that morning coffee is a plot against honest citizens done by toilet paper companies! LOL

Loose leaf? I know the market rooibos, which is not tea to my knowledge, but an alternate plant.

That's why I put it in quotes. It's an African bush. What I meant is that it is fresh and not packaged.

There's also "Maté", another plant in the same style.

The mall store Teavana can be dangerous for tea drinkers like myself. I trink way too much black tea...not a coffee fan.
 
I like oolong flavor best but not every day.
 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I agree. I try not to buy from Teavana anymore though.

EDIT: The first line, not the second for my agreement.

Tea. All sorts. Black in the morning and green or herbal in the evening. Mostly pure without sugar or anything. Some sorts of black tea also go with brown rock candy, especially the black wild cherry tea (if I translate it correctly).

 I don't like coffee.

Coffee. 
When I visit my grandmother she makes me a "bette sort en", which translates into something like a small black one(very imaginative).You put a coin in your coffee cup and then pour Red Aalborg (Snaps) in, until you´ve drowned the money. Top it off with strong black coffee, that´ll wake up hibernating bears from miles away just from the strong smell alone, -and then you have a Danish specialty from the Northern part of Jutland. It´s like a stronger version of Irish coffee without the sweetness. You have to be careful though - snaps and coffee is a strange combinationTongue
