    I have a pretty bad sweet tooth, so coffee is one of those things I have to drink sparingly, cuz it’s probably 500+ calories before my tongue says it’s potable.

    I’ve been making my own ‘milk tea’ lately by adding flavored (usually caramel or hazelnut) coffee creamer to black tea; and since the tea is way less bitter than coffee I go through a lot less creamer, but it scratches that same itch.

    I think I can unite tea and coffee snobs to fight under one banner by presenting as their common enemy lol.

      Mm idk about that bitter unification thing 😁.

      I have some eggnog and horchata teas that literally require both milk and sugar to taste anything like what the label says, but if you add those things they are amazing (if you like horchata or eggnog)

      I also have some other flavored teas that highly benefit from the addition of one or both.

      Anyone who is a purist on tea or coffee or really anything to do with taste… is missing out. Big time.
