Tea and coffee both taste mostly horrible. I unironically do believe that. Sometimes I find some good tasting stuff, but it's mostly additional flavour providing agents, otherwise it's bleh

You haven't had good tea or coffee then. The quality of the tea or beans, water temp, steep time, water quality, brew method can make or ruin any cup of coffee or tea. Get yourself to a nice local roaster or tea shop and have them brew you a cup. Can't speak thoroughly on tea but for the best coffee order a pour over (chemex or v60 if they offer options) of a single origin bean (usually on their specials menu) that has tasting notes that sound good to you. Alternatively get an espresso of a single origin bean if you'd rather get punched in the face with coffee flavor. Guaranteed it'll be unlike any coffee you've had before

Plenty of teas aren't even made of leaves.

Then it's not tea, it's an infusion or decoction.

Tea is made from a specific plant, the tea shrub (Camellia sinensis).

These infusions might be called tea, but they are tea in the same way as a hotdog is a heated companionable mammal.

Except if you talk about Kukicha, then it's made from the stems of the tea shrub. The important part here is the tea shrub. Without tea in it, it just ain't tea.

Technically, these are all decoctions, and "decoction of tea (the plant)" has become just "tea", which is now colloquially replaced "decoction".

So in the sense I was using tea, as a replacement for "decoction", coffee is a "tea", insofar that the replaced word, "decoction", boiled plant matter drink.

Language isn't quite as black as white as we'd sometimes wish it was.

So you're not wrong, per se, but neither am I.

Thing is, I like both but much prefer unsweetened hot tea to black coffee. Unsweetened cold tea is horrible though. Sweetened & hot? I’ll swap between.

Cold green tea with light sweetening is very refreshing.

They're both just dirty water

I always thought that a good cup of coffee needs to taste like shit, that's part of the charm. I enjoy coffee, but it's not, like, delicious.

Tea is a fickle mistress, too. It's very easy to make an overly bitter cup of tea, and tea bags tend to taste awful no matter how you prepare them. A good cup of tea takes effort and good quality loose leaf. God I love tea.

It really depends on the tea, I've had some black tea that's absolute dog shit but I'll murder someone for Jasmine tea or god forbid some homemade chai

I'm still more of a coffee drinker tho
