I thought this might be an interesting question.

Many of the more introspective people I know drink tea. And many of the more
extroverted people I know drink coffee. I drink both (coffee in the morning,
tea at night, so I'm not sure what that makes me). I know in
rec.food.drink.coffee, there's many more posts than here....I understand
generalizations are sometimes unfair, but I wonder if there's ever been a
study of personality types and what preferences, tea versus coffee, they
have. Anyone have any thoughts?

coffee is a tool of the middle class to better serve their masters.

There are fewer posts in this group because tea drinkers tend to be
luddites. I mean, when was the last time anyone in this group talked
about dangers of heating water in one of them new-fangled microwaves?

You'd sort of have to limit a study to time and place. Would what
would go for middle America now go for !9th century England or 18th
century China? Toci

Unless you're a Luddite, in which case they use EBCDIC, CDC Display Code,

Wow does that take me back...

(And I think strictly speaking it's binary I was typing in, not ASCII,
although ASCII is what it translates. But what do I know.the only
programming I ever did was in Apple Basic. Oh, and I cheated and didn't work
it out on my own, I had to use an online translator. So I'm not the
ubergeek.)

I can't answer for many, but I can say there's at least one. She works
with me, drinks coffee, and is an active member of PETA.

No, you're not. But a geek binary other name is still a geek.

It's amazing how much easier it is for a team to work together when no
one has any idea where they're going.

Yes, many millions.


N., coffee is a tisane

Definitely not my type. My wife drinks tea, wears fur, and
swallows anything I put into her mouth.

All caffiene addicts are equal, just some are more equal than others.

90% of the people I know drink tea and coffee, depending on occasions or
offer. What's the conclusion ?

Good God !

Actually I'm a coffee drinking vegetarian, but I'm also a tea drinking
vegetarian. But it does seem most vegetarians like herbal teas.

OK, I'm in.

Tea comes from God, who, in his infinite wisdom, supplied it so we can
better know him. Coffee comes from the Devil, fallen out of heaven, and
dedicated to preventing our salvation. Think on this seriously. Those who
truly believe will not drink coffee.

Hope this helps clarify.

That's why coffee can be so good and why it takes its deliciousness from the
fire...

Oh no, tea's taste as boring as Lourdes water. And we'd all have to look for
another vice.

About the *God* that is said to bring tea in Chinese litterature, my
Japanese teacher told me that was a sort if wizard, a guy talking to the
gods to steal them a few magical secrets... That will be explained in a
future episode of Harry Potter.

Well, the ones I had in mind tend not to be vegans: there's a heck lot
of coffee drunk in south India (almost always with milk), and a heck
of a lot of vegetarians, with substantial overlap between these
populations.

You guys absolutely disgust me!
