If you lump all those in with tea (although many do not contain any actual tea) today, then it's probably close to 10:1 still.

What I see in our canteen - students never buy tea. All sorts of cappuccino, latte, mocha, American coffee, etc.
If you go to any café, you get a long list of different coffee based drinks and very few of tea bags.
When I visited tea room in Bath, the owners expressed their concern in lack of interest and unwillingness to pay for tea. Coffee? Yes.

Oh, and I'm drinking a lovely cup (or rather a huge mug) of Golden Yunnan.

It is the same province where shu pu-erh that I am drinking at the moment comes from, right?

I drink 2-4 coffees a day, a couple of cups of green tea and then cold drinks. So I prefer coffee. Most of the younger generation I know prefer coffee as a hot drink to tea.

When you say younger generation. What age do you mean? (before you answer, I would say under 35?)
