Tea's not gross. But more seriously, tea is basically just warm water, which is even better than cold water because it gets absorbed into your body more easily, while the ingredients of coffee are actually hindering your absorbance of the water that's in it. Coffee is basically negative, because it takes water away; it dehydrates. This is also why fancy restaurants, or really any self-respecting one in the Mediterranean, provides you with a glass of plain water on the side if you order a cup of coffee. |
I should be dead then, there are days I drink nothing but coffee. Not European coffee though, watered down North American stuff. Last time I had a 'cup' of coffee in Europe it came in a doll house sized cup and tasted like tar. You can't survive on that for sure.
