Both. Being a native Southerner in the US, I drink my tea as sweet iced tea (sweetened with sugar or Splenda). I do take hot tea with lemon juice and honey for the throat once in a while. I like my coffee black, with milk or half-n-half, and Splenda. If I really need a boost, I go for the 5 Hour Energy first. Then coffee, or Diet Mt. Dew Code Red over ice.

Two questions in one today: - Do you prefer tea or coffee? ...and by tea, I mean proper, English-style black tea with milk and optional sugar - none of this weird fruity cr*p they have here in the US, and certainly not the Liptons, bottom of the tea warehouse floor sweepings, "ice tea" that they also, blasphemously, claim is tea. ..and by coffee, I mean any old cr*p with enough cream and sugar in it. - Does tea really taste better in a proper porcelain or fine china cup? ...I can drink coffee out of any old mug (as long as it's big enough) but I prefer my tea out of porcelain or fine china, if possible. Note: People who only drink soda and/or water need not reply.

Coffee all morning, strong. Tea at 8pm, English Breakfast type. I used to love Earl Grey but now it tastes like dirt to me. Very hard to find good plain iced tea in the US, most taste like liquid tree bark. The mango-papaya-raspberry-ginger concoctions are vomitous. Best to make my own. Luzianne brand is big in the Southern US and quite tasty.

Regarding Liptons, yes we do have actual English tea available at least where I live in the US. Regarding coffee, you should really expand your perspective. Coffee favors (OK, favours) differ by variety and growing region. I prefer Guatemala, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sumatra depending on my preference at the time; and only the Arabica not the Robusta variety. I only add sugar to low grade coffee. And similar to tea, none of this fruity, favored c***; though sometimes I will add a Star Anise pod to the grounds.

I don't know what fruity teas you're talking about, but spiced tea is a southern US tradition. I can't stand more than a few sips of it, but most people here like it. I don't do hot tea, except for various herbals. Otherwise, it's coffee for me, black or with cream. Must be brewed in my Bunn at home, because there are no other coffee makers that do it right. None. Regardless of the price.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Two answers. Question 1) I prefer Coffee over not only tea but any other beverage you can think of. Question 2) Anyone that makes, or prefers tea the way you describe it, is either a pretentious limey snob, or a "wannabe" pretentious limey snob. Still, we can't help the environment we grew up in. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Finally, forgive me I am a cranky old bastard. Haven't had enough coffee yet this morning.
Take ownership of your actions, you are responsible for them.
"wannabe limey snob" = Canadian or Australian ????

Does it matter? ;P I was thinking mostly of some Americas I know. (My wife in particular.) :((
I don't know anymore... I just don't.

No sugar or milk in either!!!!! Ruin the taste of a great tea with sugar and milk (wanted to say limey surge and milk, but might offed some peeps) and yum for a Green Tea brewed in the Sun for a day then poured over ice

- Here, tea is the preferred choice without any spoilers such as milk or sugar. All kinds excluding those mentioned by OP as those are not considered tea. Good black Ceylon as a day starter, variety of greens for afternoon. Evenings with a Goral or Original version of Tatratea (Drinkhacker review - Tatratea[^]). :) Coffee only as a digestion accelerator with a bunch of milk... 2) Porcelain cup is a must & strainer too :cool:
