I like coffee but I love tea, I like the ritual, the alleged health benefits, the different types, teaware, all the different cultures that love tea, It's also not intense as coffee for me. I can drink it without loading it up with sugar. I was gifted some Japanese instant coffee recently and it loved it. Instant coffee here in the US tastes like what I would imagine an unwashed ass after 2 weeks in the hot summer tastes like.
