You have to understand I'm a tea person. Coffee is only good covered in dark chocolate or in ice cream.
Heretic. Not for liking tea, but for only consuming coffee in its most polluted forms.
(I can't drink black tea myself. Well, okay, I can, but if I do, my stomach will declare war on the rest of my internal organs until I can flush the tea out of my system.)
Those of us with a nose for coffee can identify the continent or island chain it comes from on the first sip, and narrow it down to a particular area upon savoring the rest of the cup. From the more nutty Kona to the highly acidic (but wonderful) Tanzanian Peaberry to the full-bodied Sumatran Mandeeling, and around the world several more times (Ethiopian Yrgacheffee, Kenyan AA, Kulawasi, Colombia High Andes, and the justly famous Jamaican Blue Mountain), we got connoisseurs and varieties to keep up with any tea snob. Hecque, we can even grant our custom to the good organic varieties from Mexico (as Ben & Jerry does for their coffee flavored ice creams).

That, and caffeine kicks theophylline's ass.
