coffee: it either hits just the right spot or I get tired of it halfway thru the cup! i mostly treat it as a tool and a way to wake myself up, and not necessarily because of the caffeine. its about the ritual nowadays. gives me a reason to pretend to be conscious. it also deserves just enough sugar and plenty of cream.
tea: growing up in the southern US as I did, there was one tea, and it was sweet, black, cold tea. we drank it like water. I still do sometimes given the opportunity! i like having it around, when i can be bothered to make a pitcher. however, i have never really understood single brew style hot teas. i think they are ok at best! never super compelling, but i blame that on my idea of 'tea' being rather skewed
