They were unable to compare the effect of regular and decaffeinated coffee, however, because decaf is rarely consumed in Japan.

Tea. Tea is more civilized than coffee.


You know, people only say that because the British like it, and the British only like it because they needed to support their colonial trade in India. And the British seem to be liking coffee more and tea less these days.



The great centers of civilization in the Middle East and the Subcontinent are all tea drinking cultures. With a history of tea consumption far older than that modern upstart, the erstwhile British Empire.

Older, yes. But you didn't say more civilized!

I should add that, despite thousands of years of consumption, it took the British to standardize it.
