Has tea replaced coffee as the favourite hot beverage of the English?!
Answers: I'll be sad if it has. LONG MAY SHE REIGN! I mean, the teabag.
Tea is a hug in a mug! It represents so much of what is good in life. Just had bad news? Visiting friends or family? Having a bad day? Whipping the kettle on (or even better, someone whipping it on for you!) will make everything that little bit better. It's warm, comforting and ambrosial!
Long may she reign indeed!
P.S Coffee is hideous and bitter, should be banished!
x. i hope so i hate tea. x
tea sucks compared to the rich sweet taste of good coffee.
Tea, will always be my cup of tea - my partner prefers coffee though.
No way... Tea will always be ruler of the hot beverages in good old Blighty!
A nice cup of refined Earl Grey will pee all over a sludgy cup of instant Nescaff any day of the week!
Coffee has become a firm favourite but it will never overtake tea as the drink of the nation. It is quick and easy to make and it has been found to contain antioxidants which help to stop cancer and other diseases. Too much coffee can have medium to long term health effects.
I love tea... but love wine more!!! Whats coffee!!!! ha ha !
I hate tea (it's whats supposed to make us British though, innit?)
In fact you just inspired me to get off this damned computer and go and make a lovely mug of freshly brewed coffee.

Tea has always been the favourite hot drink of the British something to do with our association with India - that's why it's called 'Char'..
Coffee only came in after WW2 as it migrated from Europe.
I hate coffee - sickly stuff only suitable for foreigners!

tea always was the favorite beverage of the English people.i grew up on tea being Irish that;s what we always had when we would go visit my grandmother.still like it more then coffee.nothing like a hot cup of tea with honey in it.
I can remember when people hardly ever drank coffee and it was impossible to get a decent cup if you went out. But it looks as if coffee is catching up, not sure it's replaced it yet.
PS I haven't drunk tea on a regular basis since about 1970
I never drink tea but my husband has a cup every morning when is wakes up and then drinks coffee. I don't think coffee will take over from tea though.
i hate coffee cant even stand the smell of it, give me a nice cuppa char any day.
ps if anyone has the kettle on mines with milk and 2 sugars please:)
I love tea, never been a fan of coffee
Tea will always be the number 1 drink in Britain, the Yanks may have destroyed our language & eating habits but they'll never get rid of the traditional British Cuppa.
tea wins everytime.
