Never really drank hot drinks but since I started running I drink a lot of green tea (love it, very refreshing)and sometimes have a coffee before my morning run to make me go faster, if you know what I mean.
I just like Rooibos because I'm trying to cut down on caffeine* (too many migraines, too little sleep, assorted other health issues) it seems more tea-like than those horrible fruit and herbal teas which are no replacement at all.
I like tea/coffee in the same way I enjoy certain alcoholic drinks - I genuinely enjoy the taste of red wine more than being bothered about getting drunk, so can't see why I'd want to drink, say, lemonade instead (I'd rather just have water or go without).
Same goes for trying to replace tea/coffee with fruit tea. Pointless.
*Edit: can't see myself going without proper tea/coffee completely, though. No way!
Tea is best - but must be 'builders tea'... extra well brewed, in a teapot served in a pint mug, milk, no sugar but with chocolate digestives on the side.
Coffee is okay - black, perculated - no milk or sugar

Tea and coffee - tea either fresh mint (no rubbish teabag) or Oolong. Coffee only ever fresh - can't stand instant.
South - and I sound like a big southern jessie!
I'd give up alcohol sooner than I would tea. I get headaches if I don't drink it!!!
I say strong and black like me men!
So for me it's Coffee - Black, I'm a northerner living on the wirral.
I don't see the point in tea
Displaced Northerner in t'South.
One strong real coffee in the morning.
Can't stand tea.
Northern parents, but born in the south.
Tea of any kind is cleansing; coffee is for doughnuts.
Brummie
Tea, Earl Grey, black with sugar.
Midlands now, but a Southerner originally.
Black coffee, no sugar (milk = )
and I'm from the North
I do probably drink much more coffee than tea, but I like them both (and I drink my tea without milk too)
Another fan of "Airplane"
I was born in the North, lived most of my childhood in the South, and then moved back up North 12 years ago, but my parents are originally Southern.
I like both tea and coffee, but if I had to choose one and do without the other, it would have to be tea. Strong, with a splash of milk.
I think tea is just a british thing in general, i mean, cucumber sandwiches and a cup of cha is a very southern stereotype don't ya think?
Personally i'm a southerner who likes coffee and rooibos tea!
My folks are northern and southern and both like coffee and tea.
Sweet, white coffe -- wannabe black coffee but can't seem to get used to it
South -- wanna be Norf!
Rooibos/
How middle class is that?
LOL
rooibos is pretentious garbage
only people from Surrey drink that
Well, I'm from Surrey (originally) and I'm not that bothered about it.
This is my cuppa of choice:
Much more posh than that redbush stuff - from Fortnum and Mason's don't'cha know. (waving little finger in air as slurping from chipped mug).
Edited to add a few more ' in "dontcha" (just in case)
I don't think I've ever even been to Surrey.

Coffee is Satan's love juice I can prove this using the peice of paper I just drawn a picture on in crayon.
Yours hard core tea drinker.
Uhhhhh HELLO!!!
Rooibos is nice and i'm not from Surrey, each to their own people, each to their own! |
