Why do Brits still drink tea more than coffee?

Question

Or is that just another stereotype?

Because tea is wimpier, that's why!

Just kidding.

Answer 1

Maybe they think tea stains are easier to remove than coffee stains from their teeth, and they think they can one-up everyone who disses them on the state of their teeth by continuing to drink tea.

Answer 2

I still drink tea more than coffee but that is how I was raised, being a Brit and all. I think a lot of it is stereotypical. Like on shows all Brits drink tea at a certain time in the afternoon. That might be the way it is for the queen, but not the rest really.

Answer 3

I find it funny to be mocked for drinking tea and coffee by some super-sized fat-burger whose ideal drink has bubbles in it, and is drunk through a straw. (not the questioner, I hasten to clarify)

In fact, I usually drink more coffee, unless I can be 4rsed to make a pot of tea. I recently discovered green tea, which makes things simpler, so I've been able to cut down a bit on my coffee habit. Tea is far more civilised.

Answer 4

maybe the Brits just wanted to be different. Maybe tea was more readily available than coffee. I'm sure there is a logical explanation as to why, but I am not the one to give it to you....

Answer 5

It's part of their culture. Why do Americans drink more coffee than tea?

Answer 6

Not just Brits, dear. Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world -- second only to water.
