Coffee Or Tea?

this was my tea for my birthday last year

If I were to choose between coffee or tea, I would always prefer the latter. I have some weird reasons for my preference and after reading this you would probably think I’m a bit of a cuckoo!

So here are my reasons. 

  

I am a coffee snob. I only drink dark and strong ones. Yes, I am the espresso type. So whenever I am given anything below par, I get really disappointed.

Despite my love for strong coffee, my body or my heart disapproves. I would get palpitation or would get really anxious. I know that sounds crazy but I cannot do anything but just listen to what the “body” dictates. Another reason is that I discovered that coffee could give you unpleasant breath. I have smelled this on other people and I don’t want that on me.

Of course I have not completely abandoned my love for coffee. I still drink a cup in the morning to help me wake up sans caffeine to prevent me from getting jittery. I get the coffee taste but without the side effects. And as for the breath, I would brush my teeth afterwards and problem is solved.

So whenever I am asked what I would like to drink, well you would have guessed now what my reply would be. Tea is tea and nothing could go wrong as for the taste. As I drink mine black, I just avoided all the sugar and calories that I would have had when I chose otherwise. No, I don’t count my calorie intake! And as for the after breath, I guess I’m safe on that end.

How about you? What’s would you prefer?
