2. Coffee beats tea to near death in a red-eyed caffeine fueled rage
Edited on Tue Sep-28-04 01:49 PM by jpgray
But then tea mellows coffee out until its respiratory functions cease before passing away itself. So it's a draw.

3. But tea beats coffee
in the meditative soulful contemplative sort of way.

7. There is a big difference between...
going to a tea house in the University District to savor the tea and plopping a bag of Earl Grey into warm water. Same goes for coffee as well. A nice doppio is always better than some Folger's. It's not a battle between coffee and tea, it's a battle between quality and crap.

12. I couldn't agree more.
I prefer a lovely pot of First Flush Darjeeling from a known estate, or a hand-made Oolong from Taiwan, but I've also been known to grind beans for a robust pot of Columbian or French Roast.

13. I vote COFFEE!
but when i am in England It's a spliff and a cuppa tea!


Cuppa Tea-The Kinks
"Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
And she's always puffin' and pantin',
And she's always screaming and shouting,
And she's always brewing up tea.

Grandpappy's never late for his dinner,
Cos he loves his leg of beef
And he washes it down with a brandy,
And a fresh made cup of tea.

Chorus:
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea.

If you feel a bit under the weather,
If you feel a little bit peeved,
Take granny's stand-by potion
For any old cough or wheeze.
It's a cure for hepatitis it's a cure for chronic insomnia,
It's a cure for tonsilitis and for water on the knee.

Chorus...

Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper time,
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing.
Tea when the weather's fine,
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
For any old ailment or disease
For Christ sake have a cuppa tea.

Chorus...

Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations, no sect or organisation,
It knows no one religion,
Nor political belief.

Chorus..."

both are fine with me.

LOL - I remember when we lived in Madison Wisconsin when I was a kid, a neighbor invited my my mum over for some tea. I still remember the look of sheer horror on her face when she returned - "IT HAD ICE IN IT!!!!!". :o

20. Tea for me
I used to drink a few pots of coffee a day. I even put 2 teaspoons of sugar in each cup. I quite the sugar first, then the coffee. It's been about a year. Although...I did have a cup of coffee yesterday.
