[Anonymous No.5195930]

I drink tea because it's easier to be a pretentious faggot about it. With coffee I have to compete with the 20 somethings that scale measure Kuala Lampur beans to put in their $1200 coffee machines. With tea, making the premier cup consists of (1) loose leaves (2) the right temperature (3) the right seep time and (4) a few minor quirks of brewing.

Drinking a patrician cup of coffee requires way more expenditure in time and money than drinking a patrician cup of tea, hence, as a poor person pretending to be sophisticated, tea is far more practical.

Good God people! Just buy some damn coffee grounds and a basic coffee maker and fuck the haters. And when you're feeling it, green tea or earl grey or whatever. As long as it has enough caffeine to kill a waterbuffalo you're good to go. If you're a pretentious asshole about your beverage it just shows you are actually obsessed with the image and style surrounding the beverage and don't actually give a damn about the beverage itself.

Appeal to authority, inb4ing doesn't make it less true, faggot.
Not being a vegan is fascism. I think fascism should be wrong according to human principles, though it's right according to nature's. Maybe I'm a faggot for drawing a line between the two, maybe I'm a fascist for thinking humans are superior and have bigger responsibility than other species. Anyways, I'm piece of shit for still eating meat. Even if I'm wrong, I'm giving up my principles for pleasure. Most meats I don't enjoy anymore, but I enjoy salmon, tuna and steak still, and fastfoods, where the meat is so processed that you can't even taste what animal you're eating.

For OP: it's all about the caffeine on most days. Then I either just get a big cup of coffee and water it up until it's about piss temperature and down it or I have it with 3-6 spoons of sugar and cream or milk and sip on it. When I want to clear out my mind I drink either white or green tea, big cups, all day, coffee makes me feel quick but shallow and I feel sore in my brain after drinking too much.

Dear /lit/,

I have just been on a coffeehouse adventure from Prague to Vienna, and I've come to the conclusion that Viennese melange coffee is the most patrician.

I've been to the famous places of Cafe Louvre, Cafe Grand Orient, Cafe Slavia, Cafe Hawelka,Cafe Central, Cafe Mozart, Cafe Alt Wien, Cafe Braunerhof, Cafe Griensteidl, Cafe Demel and Cafe Sacher (Cafe Alt Wien is my favourite).

These are the esteemed places of Kafka, Bernhardt , Trotsky, Lenin, Freud and Hitler. Whole books were written at these coffee tables, and it was here that the patrician drank their coffee, the most patrician drink there is- coffee, the most patrician drink for patricians.

To give entirely too much thought to this subject...

Black coffee is utilitarian. It's basically an old fashioned (and thus sophisticated) energy drink. I find it hard to imagine people lingering on a cup of it. Too much pep.

Tea is more relaxed and meditative.
I suppose lattes and cappucinos are similar in quality. Espressos puzzle me; I'm not sure how they're ordinarily approached.

Cafes aren't really places for indiscriminate mingling, so there's an intimate or private quality to the experience compared to alcohol drinking; yet it's also public, so, combining privacy and publicness, a coffee drinker and his circle of friends seem slightly aloof. A chatter like Socrates would have loved that atmosphere, and being overheard. Sort of a Mediterranean or Feminine coyness to it.

Tea is mostly drunk at home and with guests, so it's more private and intimate still; less hip because you can't be observed hanging out, but it's a more introspective experience.
For a working class brit, a mug of tea is like a quick shower. It's ordinary and undistinguished.
For a middle class person and up, if they take the trouble to use good china and take their sweet time making and drinking it, tea can be more like having a bath.
