Dear All,
As I mentioned in the question itself these two beverages are saught after worldwide as a refreshing drink.
Though, I like both tea and coffee the personal preference on day to day basis is always black tea as a freshly infused decoction along with moderate quantity of fresh milk(buffalo/cow).
As far as coffee (the perfect blend of a mixture of Arabica and Robusta which is ideally freshly roasted and ground and added with about forty percent chicory: the roasted and ground root of Chicory: the Chincorium intibus)is concerned it is my occasional choice.
Obviously, Americans and Europians would opt for coffee instead of tea. But my intention here is to find out on the RG platform as to what is their choice with the appropriate reasoning for the same.
When it comes to coffee one goes for alternatives like instant(dehydrated/liquid concentrate) just for convenience but one ends up with lot of compromise on full bodied flavor of freshly ground coffee powder. With the similar reasoning instant tea(dehydrated as ready to serve beverage in hot water)could only be a second choice over fresh tea decoction.
What I gather, as far as the proportion of black, green( added with honey and lemon/lime juice instead of milk) and oolong tea could be 60:30:10 as a rough estimate.
Thanks and regards,
A D Padhye.
P. S. :
As a Food Technologist, I would find quite interesting the responses of the learned comunity of Research Gate members.
AS BEBIDAS NEGRAS, CAFÉ, CHÁ PRETO E COCA-COLA, P. EX. TEM CAFEÍNA, SÃO ESTIMULANTES E PODEM SER TOMADAS PELA MANHÃ. DURANTE O DIA FUNCIONAM COMO ESTIMULANTES, COMO O CIGARRO, MAS SÃO DESGASTANTES PARA O CORPO. À NOITE, AJUDAM A CAUSAR INSÔNIA. HÁ 1 ANO DEIXEI TOTALMENTE O CAFÉ E SÓ TOMO CHÁS CALMANTES, POIS A VIDA JÁ É EXCITANTE DEMAIS. SABENDO EU QUE O CAFÉ É MUITO GOSTOSO, VISITANDO AMIGOS, GOSTO DE TOMAR COM PRAZER, QUEBRANDO MINHA REGRA, A QUALQUER HORA DO DIA, UM POUCO DE CAFÉ. MAS NUNCA, DE NOITE. LEMBRO QUE SE ACOMPANHADO COM AÇÚCAR, MAS ESTIMULANTE E MAIS MAL FAZ O CAFÉ OU CHÁ PRETO PARA UMA FUTURA DIABETES. CONHEÇO PESSOAS QUE GOSTAM DE CAFÉ SEM AÇÚCAR.
Dear Dr. Andre Vallerio,
Would you please translate it into English.

Dear Dr Mary,
Please elaborate on 3 in intensity. I didn't get you.
Regards,
Thank you Arun Padhye for your response.
Intensity goes from 1 to 5. 1 is the weak end and 5 is strong. I'm happiest with 3, or 4 if the taste is really nice. But my husband is OK with 5. Just a matter of taste!
Do like coffee? I'm not keen on tea, at all, and when it was given to us at boarding school, I used to come back from the holidays with coins for the hot drinks slot machine. I think I mainly bought myself hot chocolate then. But I still like it now although don't make it every day.
Yes dear Dr. Mary.
I got it. In fact we have studied it under organoleptic assessment of food quality.
Thanks and regards.
In fact, last time when I had been to Barcelona in one of the stores there are on sale atleast 15-20 roasted, ground coffee and coffee blends from various coffee producing countries across the globe.
I don't think they really differ much from Indian coffee.
This is not to boast about it but South Indian states like Kerala, Tamilnadu do produce good quality coffee and ideally the 20 percent Arabica and 80 percent Canephora (high yielding robusta coffee) in a blend of 60 : 40 coffee - chicory blend is the optimum quality.
