tea vs. coffee

Cyclists generally prefer coffee. I prefer tea...

Advantages
Easier to make
Quicker to brew
Easier on the stomach
Doesn't turn your teeth colors
Many antioxidants

Similarities
Smells good
Thousands of flavors
Good with other things (honey, milk, sugar, etc)
Drink hot or cold
Caffeinated or Non

What do you prefer?  Any other non-coffee drinkers out there?

100% agree with the tea, even if that is the minority opinion.

I like tea for just everyday drinking, but coffee packs a bigger punch. The teeth discoloration issue can be resolved through the use of a straw.

I thought tea discolored teeth also. Maybe only English earl grey.

Anyways, coffee for me, except after a really cold, cold ride, then tea is better to warm up with.

Im a tea guy. It's the only thing that got me through the winter. I have a cup every morning before work to get me warmed up... Literally. The temperature inside my apartment was 44 degrees for the better part of dec/jan. Tea kept me from getting sick too.
