After water, tea is the most popular beverage in the world. It preparation is very simple just boil hot water, after boiling, pour it over black tea bags, leave it for few minutes to simmer then add your milk and sugar or honey as preferred.
The flavor of tea varies, it's depends on how the tea leaves are been grown, harvested and processed, the most popular tea is the black tea. There are people that are in love with the drinking of coffee but I can categorically say that, majority of people in my country prefer tea.
One of those lover of tea is my Mom, oh my! She loves tea, she can drink tea daily for weeks or months without bread, cookies or snacks. I think I picked the interest from her because my favorite beverage is tea. I can drink tea either hot or cold depending on the time of the day and the weather condition.

"When you are drinking tea, it is basically a private conversation between the tea and your individual soul.”
I found the quote to be true because whenever I'm drinking tea my soul feel relaxed. On a very sunny day I prefer to take cold tea than cold water cause it more satisfying than ordinary water for me.
However, not that I can't drink coffee but it's not my favorite.
I preferred tea because:
It contains less caffeine than coffee. The caffeine in coffee is on the high side and frequent consumption of it is not healthful cause caffeine act as a stimulant in the body.
It keeps me hydrated. Intake of tea make me drink water often. I hardly drink water on a normal day, but whatever I drink tea, the whole day will be for water therapy.
I don't like the coffee's bitter taste, even with the addition of sugar the bitter taste will still be felt.
Without adding milk to the black tea bag, with little quantity sugar you can still enjoy it. It helps reduces appetite hence enhances weight loss.
These and more are reasons why tea is my preferred drink and not coffee.
