The paradox of coffee and tea drinking turns out that most people who
like one sweet don't like the other one sweet. For instance: I drink
my tea black, but take cream and sugar in my coffee.

Thai/Vietnamese tea is so different from regular black tea that the
only similarity to me is the word "tea". Thai/Vietnamese coffee isn't
popular here so the only time I've tasted it is when I bought a bag of
Thai/Vietnamese coffee and brewed it myself. Of course I didn't
prepare it well because I'd never tasted it (didn't even know what it
should look like), so I withhold judgment until I have the real thing
in a restaurant.
