What Do You Like In Your Coffee Or Tea

By Jenna Anderson

While there are plenty of people out there that enjoy their coffee or tea without adding anything at all to them, there are others that really only enjoy these drinks if they add things like cream and sugar. Some like a little sugar and no cream, some like a little cream and no sugar. There are others who have to have both whether they are having coffee or tea.

Coffee and tea both are consumed daily on a regular basis by a large majority of our population. Coffee and tea both are big business these days and one reason is because these beverages are flavored in so many different ways that there is certain to be at least one or two flavors that almost everyone is partial to.

When it comes to teas, it is more common to have flavorings like vanilla, various spices, and various fruit flavors. While with coffee the flavors tend more to be chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and nut varieties such as pecan or hazelnut. You can purchase coffee and tea that already have these types of flavors added into them before you brew them or you can purchase these types of flavors in syrups or creams and add to the beverage after they are brewed.

Famous coffee chains offer such a variety of different kinds of coffee, if you are new to them it can be really confusing to even understand exactly what it is you are ordering. If you do not know the difference between cappuccino, espresso, or a latte, you might end up with something that is stronger than what you are accustomed to. There are different whipped creams, froths, and flavors of all kinds. When you look at one of these coffee shop menus it might be difficult to find just plain old black coffee, but of course, they do have it.

When it comes to the health benefits of coffee or tea, it would seem that certain teas have coffee beat by a mile. Both coffee and tea contain caffeine, but some teas, like the green and Oolong varieties have properties that make a very healthy choice. Many people are drinking green teas simply for those health benefits. Even though this might be true, there are die hard coffee drinkers who would never trade in their coffee in the morning for a cup of tea of any kind.

Even though the coffee shops are very popular these days, it can also be fairly expensive to frequent them every day. This is one reason why it is becoming popular to have nice coffee machines in the home. Machine that brew tea in the home are on the rise as well. It is much less expensive to make these beverages in the home than it is to order them in fancy shops.
