Tea is boring. You can do far more with coffee.

People do a lot to coffee just to make it not taste like coffee, I think that says enough.

I only use cream or half & half if the coffee is too hot and I need my caffeine RIGHT NAO.

Besides, just like there are tons of crappy beers, there are also tons of crappy coffees.

Get some tea then. Problem solved.
Not necessarily. Still has the caffeine, so you're still a drug addict. Unless we're talking herbal "teas".

Same could be said about tea, though.

I haven't really heard of anyone who adds more than milk and/or sugar. Unless you count herbal teas but those don't deserve to be called tea.

I used to drink an English Breakfast tea that was ok if you added sugar and cream. I'll usually drink the tea that's served at chinese restaurants.

I'm a coffee-holic though. I'd drink bad coffee over good tea any day of the week.

A problem I've seen in most states I've been to is that places don't seem to bring the water to boiling for tea. This is compounded by the fact that they'll bring you a small carafe of water for your tea so it's cooled off a bit before it gets to your table.

You want your water to boil and then cool down again to around 85-90°C for tea.

Generally speaking, green and white teas I think you want a little colder, black teas the hottest.

That said, if you run a cafe you might as well bring the water to your guests as close to boiling as you can and let them figure it out for themselves.

You should really look up the pictures of the burns and the facts of that case. It really, really was McDonald's fault.

Actually it was the old woman's fault for not keeping her skin in the leathery condition it ought to have been in.

I'm confused as to what you meant with this then:

I was mainly hinting at the Starbucks thing where coffee is more flavoured syrup than coffee.

You can find weirdly flavored tea as well. Saw a lavender vanilla blend while researching the topic for the heated debate I thought would happen.

It didn't happen...

I've had a tea with vanilla and other stuff that was fantastic. I wouldn't drink it when I'm the mood for a good darjeeling or a green tea, but it was still very nice.

I prefer Earl Grey. It's what my grandparents drank and what my dad drank before he switched to some smoked blend. When I grew out of hot coco, I switched to Earl Grey. Drinking tea without the distinctive bergamot taste just feels wrong. Like drinking coffee not made from coffee beans. Makes no sense to me.

Anyway, I drink coffee now. Prefer the strong and bitter taste to the sweet tea. It also tastes better with tobacco than tea does.

There's nothing to debate. He's wrong. So wrong he's not worth discussing the topic with any further.

I far prefer Monster for my stimulant fix. I don't care for hot beverages in general though, so I rarely drink coffee or tea. Iced coffee is an abomination, iced tea can be good if done right, it usually isn't though.
