I vote for coffee – my preferred drink since childhood. These photos are superb. Love seeing as I drink my coffee.

Coffee in the morning, Tea in the afternoon, for me!
Thank you for this post! I have been drinking coffee for over 70 years and tea almost as long…I favor coffee but enjoy a good cup of tea as well. I always enjoy the poems, comments etc. you add to your posts. The comments( if you will permit me ) this time were spot on.
