I have always preferred coffee but didn't mind tea until I had my wisdom teeth out. I was very young, living in the back of beyond. We had to travel a long distance to the dentist so I opted to have all four wisdom teeth removed at the same time. Bad decision. Two of the teeth were impacted so the dentist drilled them out. Another bad decision.

When I got home the bleeding was excessive. The recommended treatment was to put tea bags on the wounds so that the tannic acid would cause clotting. After a while of sucking on 4 tea bags it worked( I think) but the very strong tea made by my saliva was very unpleasant . I never drank tea again.

Now I am limited to one cup of black coffee per day as I'm not supposed to have caffeine.
