First thing in the morning,I have a cup of tea with milk no sugar.

Love the smell of coffee,but never liked the taste:o

Love hot chocolate

Drink herbal teas,camomile,peppermint,green tea with jasmine,when I first tasted green tea it was horrible,but it grew on me:Dit,s good for detoxing

Strong black coffee from first thing in the morning ( the jolt gets my heart started ) until early afternoon - then I switch to tea with no sugar & a little drop of milk - evenings it's usually a lager (or several ) with large dollops of whisky at weekends

I'm a tea drinker myself. I used to like coffee but nowadays I can't even stand the smell of it.

Mind you, when I think about it, I'm not all that keen on tea either and that's why I have FOUR spoons of sugar in each mug. I don't have a sweet tooth, it's simply to take the taste of the tea away (which I have incredibly weak as well).

I always recall what Peter Davison said in a Doctor Who:- "Ah, tea; a noxious infusion of Chinese herbs."

All good Brits drink tea, it's a measure of good character.

whilst slipping in the odd cup of coffee, that's nowt compared to my tea consumption

Me & the missus have to have a MINIMUM of 2 cups, often 3, first thing in the morning

I love a good, strong cup of tea (no sugar) and the odd coffee thrown in for good measure. I do have the occasional hot chocolate sometimes before bed but haven't been able to find hot chocolate which is half as nice as the ones I always had from my college canteen back in the day, absolutely gorgeous they were.

Anyone tried those chilled coffee drinks you can get now, it's like coffee...but er, cold. I haven't taken the plunge yet and to be fair, I don't feel the urge to try one anytime soon.

I perfer tea,but if I have coffee it has to be the dark ones.like that noir one or Douwe egberts.Lots of milk and one suger in either,or a sweetner.I like blackcurrant herbal tea,but haven't had it in ages.Rest of the time its diluting juice and I normally have a coke or diet coke during the day too.

I must admit to being a cappuccino addict, but my first drink of the day has to be tea.

Most common drink is Lapsang Souchong.
I picked up a taste for this unusual black tea at university, where the milk in the communal fridge had either gone off or been nicked.

Sometimes it's black coffee with the toast and cereal in the mornings, and an ocasional hot chocolate at night.

Have to agree with emettman, love Lapsang, although I have recently discovered both English Rose and Vanilla at Whittards, evenings usually involve copious amounts of white wine.

Tea for me, any kind, but I like it strong. I also like fruit and herb teas with a spoonful of honey.

I like tea, coffee and hot coco. Depends on what I feel like drinking in the morning, may be a tea or a coffee - I vary the strength of tea or coffee when I make it, sometimes strong, sometimes not. I do like it to be sweet sometimes too than others. At the moment I only drink hot chocolate if I go to my regular cafe as I do find it goes well with cold winter weather. I do have Milo by Nestle at home, Cadburys Drinking Chocolate - the original kind thats in an orange and brown cylinder (bought it in a Poundland, seems its exported to Thailand oddly enough these days or made there) and Nesquik but haven't drunk much. Don't like fruit or herbal teas at all. I only have cappuccino or lattes in town...lattes make me laugh, its simply milk coffee....but we are stupid enough to buy them...

Fruit teas never heard of them M.B.
Tried herbal tea was not fussed on it.

Fruit tea sounds nicer than herbal.

i can drink up to 20 cups of teas a day.

going back ten yrs i still drankthe same amount of tea but i put 3 sugars teaspoons in each.

i was like a walking sugar factory.:D

yes like coffee as well.

perhaps 3 to 4 per day.

If you have a cold Lemon & ginger tea with a good dollop of honey better than anything from the chemist. otherwise mines a tea no sugar and a drop of milk

I love my Cofffee, Coffee on a Morning, Coffee at Lunchtime, Coffee at night, Coffee when-ever! Though I like Tea too (but only ocasionaly or when the mood takes - if I have Full English Breakfast in Town, sometimes "Tea" screams out at as opposed to Coffee but not too often. Though i'm not a Coffee-adict I can get buy without it I guess!!!

sounds like a song coffee in the mornig coffee in the evening.etc.

Is that with sugar you take your coffee tea etc.

But ill try different types of coffee.

I never thought of this Darren, yeah it does sound like that "how do you like your eggs in the morning" song now i've thought about it mate yeah!! Yeah just 1 Sugar in either but more than a Tea-spoon if I have Honey in my Coffee (I don't have it in Tea though). I will try differing Coffees too, no question yep mate.

Cup of tea in the morning with milk and 2 sugars, usually a hot chocolate through out the day (not coffee as in the Haymarket area of Newcastle getting good coffee cheap is second only to finding the Holy Grail), and tea time usually a coffee as soon as I get in or possibly Bovril or OXO. If I'm feeling adventurous a hot lemonade and Ribena! :)

How on earth can you drink a hot Oxo mate? I love the smell of it when it's made for Gravey ... but to drink, sorry I don't think I could stomach that!!

Tea in the UK. Sweet tea in the USA. Normal tea in the USA is so so so bad. It's no wonder they threw that cr*p in the sea back in the day, if I was there I would have done the same.

I don't have much of a sense of smell or taste, so anything remotely bovril like tastes pretty much the same vaugly salty, beefy water. :) How I can stomach it, not quite sure, possibly magic. :)

I suppose it could equate (or be similar) to a Beefy soup may-be!!
