Default tea or coffee

Hello tea google group! I'm new here. Is this group mostly
Singaporeans?

I'm curious: Do most people in Singapore drink coffee or tea?

Welcome to the group! This is not actually a Google Group per se, it's
a Usenet group ... although the distinction is in the eye of the
beholder, since you're using Google to access it. We're from all over
the world. I'm in the USA, personally.

I love both tea and coffee, although I read/post on the tea group
because I prefer it to alt.coffee. Over there people are pretty much
obsessed with their espresso machines, and over here people are fairly
obsessed with pu erh, but a tea group can't help but be laid back. :-)

Glad to know you, and hope you keep on posting.

Hello to the OP, and I too am in the good 'ol US of A... Near
Pittsburgh, PA. Although I am not obsessed with Pu-erh. I have tried it
and semi-enjoyed it, and plan on dabbling again... but I am into Green
teas (Sencha, Matcha, etc.) as well as Oolong, White, and Black teas. I
am mainly into the process and history/culture surrounding tea. Yixing
teapots, tea ceremony, and Asian cuisine and culture in general. I even
get into Indian teas, Assam's and Darjeelings.

Just curious, but what made you think we had some connection to
Singapore?

Take Care and Welcome!
