Re: Tea or Coffee???

Coffee in the morning, black. After noon I only drink tea - green, chai, peppermint, chamomile.

Then why bother to join, and why post? I'm new here and I had a toot round before deciding to join, and I am finding this forum extremely interested in the different sections.

Anyhooo! Tea for me every time. Very strong, little milk and three sugars! Yep three!

I have a cup of coffee on the odd occasion, but can't drink Nescafe as it gives me stomach ache, so it has to be Douwe Egbert's when I do have coffee.

Re: Tea or Coffee???

I cant stand Tea. Never have liked it. I have to hold my nose if I have to make any visitors a cup I hate the smell that much. Love strong Black Coffee though

Re: Tea or Coffee???

Lynne darlin' - black coffee is even better with a tot of Brandy or Rum in it

Re: Tea or Coffee???

Ughh No!! Dont like Brandy or Rum - or Whisky either. I'm a miserable git!! Or a cheap date whichever you prefer

Re: Tea or Coffee???

Lynne darlin' my doctors are feeding me Warfarin, so officially I'm not allowed alcohol at all, but some mornings, particularly in the winter, a large mug of black coffee topped off with a tot of Brandy or Rum sets me up for the day.

Re: Tea or Coffee???

I make a fresh pot of coffee first thing as soon as I get up., I can't take instant coffee for some reason - it gives me stomach ache so it has to be fresh. I noticed Mollie further up the thread said that Nescafe gave her stomach ache, and that is honestly the first person I have ever come across who has the same experience as me (although with me it's all instant coffee). People always look at me as if I'm nuts when I say that .. so I can now say 'well actually, on the forum I go on, someone else said the same thing!'

I drink water through the day but at bedtime I always like a cup of very weak black tea.

Re: Tea or Coffee???

I used to drink tea regularly and coffee occasionally......nowadays, I prefer coffee and the occasional tea......funny how your taste changes

Oh, and I like to drink the fresh coffee too, when I can be bothered to make it, otherwise it has to be Carte Noir for me.

Re: Tea or Coffee???

I'm a coffee person, with the odd cup of tea in the afternoon sometimes.

I've developed a taste for bush tea/ruusboos(?) lately. Must be reading too much No 1 Ladies Detective Agency!

Re: Tea or Coffee???

I've just googled bush tea and think I'll give it a try, Hilary ......it says it's also good for insomnia. I suppose that like all herbal teas, it's an acquired taste.
