3) on a scale from 1-10, how picky are you about your tea/coffee?
4) how frequently do you drink tea? how often do you drink coffee?



PS: herbal tisanes such as rooibos, chamomile, hibiscus, blue mallow and lemon grass count as tea in this instance.

Milk ;0)

I prefer to drink tea if i'm eating something sweet, EX- cookies or pie.

Coffee in the AM, tea just doesn't cut it first thing in the morning.

Over all my preference is Juice, or milk.

Since coffee is what i drink to start my day, it will determine my mood for the day also. I voted coffee.

EDIT: Why must you edit your post after i respond. GR, bad boy.

Not an ENFP... but TEA!

Coffee tastes and smells horrible.

Tea... loose leaf.... is just the best! Any day I manage to find the time to brew a good cuppa, I know is gonna be swell. Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Oolong, Darjeeling.... nom nom nom.


Also... I know at least one ENFP who prefers loose leaf tea, just to... add to your results.

BOTH.

I really love coffee and part of the appeal is how it makes the whole house smell delicious. And how it is something that brings people together (though I suppose tea does too). I drink coffee pretty much every morning.

I also really love tea, and when I am not drinking coffee every morning I am drinking Irish breakfast tea. Because it's phenomenal.


I'm not very picky about either, though I hate getting grounds in my coffee. I never remember what something tastes like for long enough to be able to compare it the next time I have it...if that makes sense. For instance, I already don't remember what the coffee I drank this morning tasted like, so the coffee I drink tomorrow could be better or worse and I wouldn't know the difference unless it was really repulsive probably.

Why isn't there a both option?

I drink tea like an addict (I have a three cup a day habit,) but I drink coffee on mornings when I'm exhausted.

I just get this apple and camomile,only started drinking tea this year and that flavour has quite grown on me. Neverr really tried coffe but it smells terrible and i'm never tired anyways so why bother?

1) what is your single favorite variety? (tea, coffee or both)
I like blueberry hot tea
2) what are some other varieties you enjoy? (tea, coffee or both)
I pretty much will drink any flavored tea, hot or iced. I like iced coffee as well. I'll drink hot coffee if someone else makes it, but I usually put so much sugar and creamer in it that it doesn't really classify as coffee anymore by the time I actually drink it. :P
3) on a scale from 1-10, how picky are you about your tea/coffee?
tea: 6 (it's really difficult to mess up tea)
coffee: 8 (there's a limited time frame when coffee tastes good....both in how long you keep the beans/grounds and how long it sits...and there are some flavors that smell good but trick me because they are just awful)
4) how frequently do you drink tea? how often do you drink coffee?
I drink tea on my bum days when I just feel like being low-key and cuddling up with a book. I drink coffee if someone else makes it and offers me some or if I randomly meet someone to hang out at the coffee shop of a bookstore to chat.

1) what is your single favorite variety? (tea, coffee or both)
Coffee, but I enjoy a good cup of tea. Typically I enjoy coffee with a darker roast. My favorite so far is Donut Shop by Coffee People. If you have a Keurig, try it. It's really good. No milk or sugar.

2) what are some other varieties you enjoy? (tea, coffee or both)
As far as tea goes, I enjoy pretty much anything unflavored. The exception to that is green tea with mint. No milk or sugar.

3) on a scale from 1-10, how picky are you about your tea/coffee?
With coffee, I want a full body that isn't overtly bitter. With tea, as long as it doesn't have flavoring and doesn't taste like water, I will drink it.

4) how frequently do you drink tea? how often do you drink coffee?
Coffee every morning. Tea whenever I fancy it.

@Alysaria

tea: 6 (it's really difficult to mess up tea)

I'm going to disagree with this. there are several factors that go into tea making of which the absence of one can completely ruin the tea
1) quality of tea leaves (loose leave at minimum)
2) ratio of tea leaf to water
3) steeping time
4) number of steepings (green tea is usually good for 2 steepings, oolong on the other hand is good for several)
5) water temperature
as a general rule:
- boiling for black tea, oolong tea and herbal teas/tisanes
- 170-180F for genmaicha (green tea with roasted rice grains)
- 140-170F for green tea
- 140F for gyokuro (a super epic, shade grown green tea. sweet and delicate)
