I was raised in a WASP environment where most people drank tea. Coffee
in that part of the world in the 1950s was not very good. My best friend
was German and his family usually had coffee. When he moved away I
hooked up with a couple other guys, one Czech and the other Dutch, and
their mothers used to make nice strong coffee. I have coffee at least
once a day and have tea only a couple times a year.
