Black tea is superior to coffee, because the caffeine rush is much more pleasant and the crash is mild. It's better at helping you focus and improving your mood. Tea doesn't wreck your stomach lining and turn you into a raving looney when you can't get it. It's cheaper than coffee, pound for pound. The people who run the world are all tea drinkers.
Nay nay! Loose leaf single origin or GTFO! Since we're being controversial, let's be a fun type and talk about what really matters. How long of a steep?! COME AT ME TEABROOOOS
I enjoy both but well brewed tea seems to be faster and less work than well brewed coffee. Both to prepare and in cleanup / maintenance of the equipment.
I've enjoyed a great deal of green tea, still a go to if I need a little something more after my regular morning coffee.
I also enjoy various and sundry herbal teas on a regular basis.
For black tea, however, unless I go to some ultra high end specialty provider, the commercially available black tea here in 'murca tends to be overly bitter, requiring milk and sugar to get through, and I prefer my hot beverages devoid of milk and sugar.
