Coffee or Tea?

RITA Points: Join Date: May 10, 2005 Status: offline	The reason I drank tea was that I felt one day the water was so plain and unromantic:) and I needed some taste in it, that's of course years ago, later I found I like tea very much not only because I could not bear the plain water but itself. Fortunately I lived in Xiamen for quite a long time (not as long as 10 years but people move a lot frequently like me, 7 month is long enough to experience everything - job-hunting, working, traveling, shopping, eating like locals, etc), so I had chance to taste many kinds of excellent tea at a very low price, and was more addicted to it after learning so much about the culture of tea and watched tea ceremony. At least, I have the ability to distinguish the spring tea from autumn tea, and something amazing that can not get from reading:) Indeed, tea has something in common with coffee, we all know it - revitalize within a short time... Later, I had to work from afternoon till midnight, really exhausting. I couldn't fell asleep in the night and was weary in the daytime, then coffee came into my life as a kind of specific medicine to keep me 'alive' in the daytime, it worked really beyond my expectation. So unlike most other people who have some background knowledge of western culture or language, I did not at all feel romantic when I hold a coffee cup :), forgive me for saying so, I choose coffee as a kind of medicine and really take it nonotherthan medicine, I held it in my hand and worried when can I finish it..., suddenly I found that if I take it as Chinese herb juice, coffee was indeed easier to accept. Certainly, I passed coffee once my life and work came back to normal. What do you prefer, coffee or tea?

Another site says coffee originated from Africa (that's probably true), Kaffa in Ethiopia was the place where coffee was found... Anybody know more about this?
