Poll: Tea or Coffee Sir?

[curlycrouton]

We all drink something when we're working. Go on, admit it. Some of us own desks stained with countless rings left from piping hot mugs of tea. Others of us pop down to Starbucks and grab a coffee from a skinny young lad with black hair covering his face. Or maybe you prefer the more mystical approach and like to rush down to the local hippy emporium and whip yourself up a herbal tea?

I myself am a lifelong tea-drinker, always have been, and I hope I always will be. That rich taste of Earl Grey combined with just the right amount of sugar can spur me on for another hour's mindless typing any day. I'd like to offer a quote, from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells:
"The British Empire was built on cups of tea, and if you think I'm going to war without one, mate, you're very much mistaken."

This to me sums up the whole essence of what makes a cuppa truly the drink of kings.

Anyway, what's your drink?

 

[The_Prophet]

Tea. Earl grey or herbal

 

[jim_doki]

green tea. either boiling hot or ice cold

 

[Marbas]

I enjoy lemonade, especially when it's nice and tangy.

You need a "None" option to make me post.

 

[Galletea]

Irish coffee when available.

But my tastes depend on my moods. Some days I want coffee others tea. Generally I go for extremes though, I'll either have black tea or an espresso at one instance, then sweet milky tea or a poncey Starbucks thing.

So all of the ones on the list, but without the marshmallows.

Please edit the poll and remove "poncy". As much as I agree, it's not a good thing to do in a poll.

Tea, used to have 10 cups of coffee a day or so, but started on tea a few months ago and then dropped to no sugar and now I don't even like the taste of most coffee.

"Herbal" tea is a concept I don't quite grasp. Not in how you'd think but is it counted as herbal only if it contains herbs and no tea or can it be flavoured tea.

Apologies, there was only eight options.
Surely you must drink something?

Your wish is granted.

Either white tea or black coffee for me, but I'm also partial to iced-tea when it's hot (the weather, that is).

 

[Mstrswrd]

Other. In this case, Ice cold Dr. Pepper. It goes with everything (in my mind, at least).

 

[zen5887]

Hot coffee and ice tea

 

[MrGFunk]

Earl Grey tea, a dash of milk - only way to fly.

Sometimes I have coffee (black only), but never instant. bleurgh. Freeze dried mank.

Water and squash. Occasional Stella or fizzy drink, but it's rare.

ooo, for my second wish i'd like a packet of Timtams that never runs out.
lol, thanks though.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Coca Cola.
I love it, way, way too much.

I dislike alcohol (I'm assuming that's what Irish Coffee is?) and have never tried tea or coffee.
Also what the hell is a mochalatte?

Irish coffee is coffee and alcohol.

And a mochalatte is thus:

 

[Dommyboy]

Lemon, lime and bitters. Weak as piss alcohol wise (unless you drown it with vodka, mmmmm) but it tastes great. Has a nice tang.

 

[PureChaos]
