最早以前,咖啡還沒有那麼普遍的時候,我們華人社會幾乎都是以喝茶為主。甚至到現在也是一樣。滿街的泡沫紅茶店,甚至連7-11裡面的瓶裝飲料也都是充斥著茶類飲品。我可以告訴各位,台灣的瓶裝式無糖綠茶真的是世界上最棒又無負擔的飲料。相較於西方國家,台灣便利商店賣的飲料種類也是千變萬化。在國外,飲料總是只有那幾種,只有一些甜到爆炸的汽水,如可樂和雪碧。就算有推陳出新,比方說櫻桃可樂、香草可樂、萊姆可樂,但都擺脫不了汽水和糖分。無糖飲料在國外市場,真的是沒什麼銷路。除了日本之外,在飲料這個市場,我想沒有人可以跟台灣匹敵啦!茶或是咖啡你喜歡哪一種呢?

What is best: coffee or tea?

 

Here's what people in London said:

 

Man 1: I'm a tea person 'cos firstly you can do more things with tea than coffee and apparently it's much better for your health as well 'cos coffee is quite addictive and tea isn't so much so.

 

Woman 1: I know that coffee has caffeine to make you awake so I use tea as a substitute and so I use tea as my 'wake up' in the morning to get started.

 

Man 2: I'm more of a coffee person because coffee has a lot of caffeine; it keeps you awake at night so that's useful when you're doing your late night studies.

 

Woman 3: I hate the taste of coffee!

 

Let’s dig in!

The first guy instated that he is a tea person, which means that he prefer tea. He likes tea because he thinks that tea can have many different forms, such as milk tea, bubble tea, herbal tea, green tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc. On the other hand, coffee can only have on flavor. The only thing you can do with it is adding cream and sugar or make it into frappuccino. He also pointed out that coffee can be quite additive and the level of caffeine is not very good for your health of you overdose.

The woman said that coffee has caffeine, but it is too strong, so she drinks tea instead to start out her day. Tea also has caffeine but not as much as coffee does. The other woman even instated that she hate the taste of coffee. I think it is due to the bitterness. Coffee is something that smell and taste too strong that people’s opinion could vary and is quite extreme. One either likes it a lot. Another could detest it.

 

As for the caffeine, the second guy said that people use coffee to keep themselves awake for their late night studies, which is something that most of us have done in school, especially during final exam period. Coffee was the best buddy to help us score the classes and make it through our ways in colleges.
