Not to say coffee isnt delicious.

Ah no need for sugar in the tea !!

That's not a taste thing, that's an Irish thing.
Taste-wise its coffee all the way, if you reckon tea tastes better you are associating it with national pride (subconsciously), or associating the drink with a dear loved one (subconsciously), or you've been drinking tea longer that you have coffee.

Tea making is an art, any one that prefers coffee obviously is not a very good artist.
To brew a good mug of tea you need a very particular set of skills, skills that you acquire over a very long tea making career. Skills that make me a nightmare for coffee drinkers. who need machines to make a mug of coffee

Oh contrare, I make a fantastic cup of tea.
And I make my coffee myself

Or i'm associating it with the fact I like sweet tea. I like both and really dont discriminate.

Hot tea, regular coffee.

you've been out working/training in the pouring rain all day you come home have a shower and you have a mug of tea not coffee, its a comfort food, like chocolate, if someone doesnt like it people go mad!
it also gives you energy, relaxes you, its just brilliant. you drink it no matter what the occasion/mood

Merely proving the point that coffee is an art, sure the same can be said about "food presentation" which is oh so precious to the success of any restaurant.

Did you not read my previous posts, coffee is clearly the winner in that department. tea is like a weak, crappy version of coffee.

True art would be making the perfect cappucino .. making tea just seems a bit mundane .
