Recently switched from PG Tips to Yorkshire Tea, so much better! Bigger bags, makes a stronger, tastier brew. Smidgeon of milk & 1 sugar. 6-8 Cups a day.
Got a tip for us?

Coffee or Tea?

Coffee, black like my soul.
As for tea, I've been on a mint tea kick lately. Maybe a whisper of sugar, if I had honey I'd use that

Coffee for me. But only if it's a good flavor IE French vanilla. I don't like regular coffee with just milk and sugar. I don't like the taste.

Look for Celestial Seasonings Roastaroma. It's a bit like chicory coffee or even chai tea. With a little soy milk you just might fool yourself that it's really your beloved coffee...

I prefer black coffee early in the morning.
The rest of the day I prefer iced tea (or, when I need an extra kick, iced coffee). If I feel the need for something hot, and it's too late in the day for coffee, I get myself some tea without sugar (it takes a while to get used to sugarless tea, but now I actually prefer it that way).

Morning:
Tim Hortons extra large 3 sugars, 1 cream
Evening:
Peppermint Tea. No sugar or milk.
Winter:
Coffee with Baileys.

Oh, that's one of my favourites too...
Coffee: La Colombe when I make it at home and any brand Americano anywhere else (Except for Buck's County which = poison).
For tea recommendations my wife has been drinking loose tea from Teavana. I don't know which one she likes best but she's a big fan of it.

Usually I'm a tea kind of guy (Choice Organic Tea is where it's at - especially the Earl Grey, or English Breakfast Tea), but I've been known to drink a cup of coffee now and again (usually black, and usually Bike Fuel Coffee).
I like tea and coffee but prefer coffee, especially now that I am trying to cut down on sugar consumption (hopefully to zero). Tea is a bit too bitter without a little bit of sugar.
Recommendations?
You should try Mariage Freres tea, from France. It is the absolute best tea I have ever consumed. Since it is fairly expensive, I only have it periodically.
The "Vanille Des Illes" (sp?) and "Eros" are two excellent flavors, along with their black tea.

Tea, a cup or two a day, milk no sugar. Used to drink more before my surgery. Cut back afterwards, and less is fine. Prefer not having to pee all morning.
Most Americans haven't had any tea. They think they have, but they haven't, because by-in-large, they are making it in a cup with tepid water. All tea tastes very bad made this way. Boiling water, pot. Very simple.
I generally have Typhoo on hand, one of the "golds" (Barry's Gold or Yorkshire Gold), a common blend such as English or Irish Breakfast, and varietal or two (Ceylon, Assam) when I can find them. All loose, no bags -- the best way. I stay away from Twinnings. Expensive, and not very good quality.

Good quality tea bags are fine, but the proper way is in a pot with loose leaves. Personally I don't really care.
As for the coffee vs tea, I drink whatever I feel like. Usually that's coffee, but I do get urges to drink varieties of tea.
I usually have coffee in latte, cappuccino, iced or frappe form. Iced being my favourite. I usually take 1 sugar and milk, but if I'm eating something sweet with it then I skip the sugar. Same goes for regular tea.
I also like having regular tea with lemon and honey rather than with milk, particularly if I have a sore throat or cold. I'm also big on herbal teas - green, jasmine, peppermint, vanilla and all of the many other wonderful varieties that are out there. My favourite tea though, is Bubble Tea. Best drink EVA!
