Tea versus Coffee

What is your choice of hot drink between the two? A cup of tea or a cup of coffee?

I used to be big on drinking tea including herbals which was relaxing while reading a book or looking up about subjects in the I.T field for me.

But coffee? I drink it in the morning ready for my day and work search, keeps me upright that caffeine stuff but I don't drink more than 2 cups due to caffeine contents.

I used to drink quite a lot of it in the workplace (Deadlines and projects tend to make you do that)

So what about you? Are you a tea enjoyer or a coffee enjoyer?

Tea, but no one mentioned the huge drawback that needs to be said.

Do not drink black tea on an empty stomach. It causes nauseation and you might throw up. I know I always do.

Herbal teas are safe tho
- Wait really? Many days my only breakfast is black tea and never had an issue
  
  This definitely sounds like OP might be sensitive to something in the tea
  
  Yes not everyone gets this evidently! There's a large subset of the population that is sickened by the tannins on the tea, but evidently y'all can just chug that shit and be fine? Wild.
  
  I don't think that is a general rule. Many people drink only black tea in the morning.
  
  Yeah some people are more sensitive - it's the tannins that do it.
  
  I'm fine if the tea has a splash of creamer or something, but straight black tea makes me puke lol
  
  I also have this problem with tea but not coffee
