Oh geeze, this subject.
So, I am an avid tea drinker. I have worked in several teashops in my life and I love
gongfu cha (chinese tea '
ceremony'). I have well spent a lot on supplies and hoards of tea whether my favorite selections of elegant wuyi wulong, toasty macha genmaicha, chrisp white needle, or smoky lapsong souchong.
Shamelessly, I have placed time in researching the
perfect yixing pot,
wulong tea, and even
specialties (No, that is not puerh. Yes, that is a cake. Yes, that is wuyi wulong. Yes, it is delicious. Yes, it is expensive.)
Tea for me is a special culture that not only rich in flavor, but in history. I devote time and excellence in presenting, brewing, and ascertaining prime leaves.
THAT SAID!
Even though I love tea, its history and culture, and its taste (some more than others). I do enjoy coffee more for consumption. I am not picky about coffee and anything from grab-and-go Dunkin' Donuts' ice coffee to shoddy french pressed made for a bit of extra taste: well, I am a filthy casual for coffee.
Tea or Coffee? For me, that answer is complicated (as is my response).
For excellence? Tea.
For everyday consumption? Coffee.

tea
for my fellow tea drinkers, black tea, green tea or the mix whatever it was called, which do you prefer
What you are referring to is 'Oolong' (or wulong). It is not necessarily a mix as wulong has a different fermentation process and can be very different in its taste: Some can taste more green, some more black, some very distinctly wulong.
It is by no means at all a mix as some white teas that are aged can very much taste black. Taste does not always indicate type.
