Yeah I drink coffee for the stimulants, but it can be good. Tea is a sometimes drink but when done decent is usually excellent and has a very high ceiling
Especially when you get good tea from quality suppliers, it's excellent. I'm part of a tea club and get sent boxes of tea from a specific vendor i really like. Some of the tea is probably more than a year old, but I'd just as happily tear open the bag and make a delicious pot of tea. high quality tea is not as expensive as people think and it's absolutely wonderful. it is softer than coffee though and takes some time for your palate to adjust.
ETA: I pay $40 every other month and get over an ounce of loose leaf tea, carefully selected with love by the vendor. they're a small operation with direct ties to tea farms in China and source from family and friends. And if you're in the right communities, you can talk to them directly and discuss the tea with them. the world of tea is very inviting and open and you'd be surprised how cheap really good tea is, especially in bulk.
I think tea is actually way more approachable which is what makes it less snobby.
You have to be educated about what makes it good and how to prepare it but at the end of the day all you need is the tea, some hot water and a cup. You get fancy with filtering it and how but it's unnecessary to enjoy.
You shouldn't need to filter high quality tea, it should speak for itself. A little leaves at the bottom are just snacks. if you prefer it filtered thats fine, just totally unnecessary. Really the limiting factor is actually water quality, but there are people experimenting with water recipes to make the best tea. And they usually share their recipes and the majority of the minerals are widely available and it's just a lot of distilled water. The equipment is what's most expensive, but a cheap gaiwan or even a small bowl and you're good to go.
