Poll: Who would win a war between tea leaves and coffee beans?

[stompythebeast]

Tea. With the grace of the lord and might of the righteous.

 

[War Penguin]

None. The Energy Drink Underdog is victorious.
(this is a stupid sign that I'm not picking sides)

 

[yeah_so_no]

Spoken by someone who has obviously never had matcha [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matcha], where part of the process is pulverizing the leaves. This makes for a brew that laughs in the face of your pathetic coffee.

So yes. Tea all the way.

Funny, coffee is still coffee no matter how small you grind it.

And the coffee beans have special forces at their disposal: Instant Coffee, Black. Small buggery b**t**ds with a penetrating taste and always ready for action.

It takes a well-trained taste-bud to survive that I tell you.

Ahh, yes, but tea ALSO has instant (oh, the power of Japanese technology--green, black, oolong, 'royal', all in a fine powder all premeasured for you in individual packets), plus it sees your black coffee and raises you white, green, black, oolong, puer, and matcha...and to say nothing of the ninjas of the tea world, herbal.

Tea has NINJAS. NINJAS.

Coffee hasn't a chance.

 

[Quantana]

beer o euhm.. coffee beans?

 

[Julianking93]

Tea rules. Coffee tastes like shit and gives me a headache

 

[Shock and Awe]

Sweet Tea is the ultimate beverage.

 

[Zacharine]

However! I propose an alternative. Tea and coffee work together to bring down the travesty that is bottled water.

Ah! Now there is a soldier fighting for true improvement!

Yess, let the alliance be made and the smiting of the True Darkness begin! Onwards, forces of good-beverages-served-hot! To Victory!

 

[Zacharine]

The tea would convert the entire population of coffee with its superior cultural influence, and the empire that is coffee would simply dissolve into the world of tea.

Coffee never defects, the influence of culture is lost on them. Some heathens may try to mellow them out with cream, sugar or milk, but drink produced from the hardened veteran core of True Coffeebeans is always black as night.

So yeah, take your victory over the Cafe lattes and what not. They aren't part of the Coffee Purists Coalition anyways. Just let me drink my pot of strong black coffee a day and we can all retire from the battlefield content.

Gentlemen, I believe there is a simple answer to this.
All you have to do is ask yourselves: "Which is more British?"
And there you have your answer.
You are welcome.
*adjusts tophat and sips hot beverage*

So coffee would win, beacuse tea is too busy being british?

 

[Zacharine]

Tea has NINJAS. NINJAS.

Coffee hasn't a chance.

Ahh. But. Whaitaminute. HEY!

Damn.

Aha! I counter the ninjas with mad coffeine addicted scientists!

Midnight hours in service of teh mad scientia for the win.

Ahh, but between all the good things in tea, there is nothing your twitching and over-caffeinated scientists could come up with that would work.

And also...ninjas. Unless you have pirates, tea wins.

Short term - Coffee (Battle), Long term - Tea (War).

 

[titanium turtle]

a coffee bean will shatter if shot by a tea leaf, a tea leaf would be torn but could soldier onwards, coffee beans are fat and would stand out and could not get into cover quickly whereas green tea leaves could easily hide in trees, also I am British so I would always prefer a "good old cuppa"

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

But I drink both..that would make me some kind of epic hybrid..

My god..I could rule the world O.O

[sub]i'm the same.[/sub]

let's do it.

Not if I rule it fiiiiiiiiiirst!

This can either lead to a large war that covers the entire planet, or an alliance of such awesomeness that all will bow before us..

both sound like killer fun. /:
