Does it matter? 
I was thinking mostly of some Americas I know. (My wife in particular.) 
I don't know anymore... I just don't.

I mainly drink Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice Herbal Tea, Caffeine Free: Cinnamon, Roasted Chicory, Roasted Carob, Natural Spice and Vanilla flavors with other natural flavors, Ginger, Cardamom, Black Pepper, Cloves and Nutmeg. It may be weird, but is not fruity. It's the only tea that has satisfying body without requiring sugar. I can't drink much caffeine as my body does not process it well. When I do very seldom drink coffee, it is black, no cream or sugar.

Both.
Being a native Southerner in the US, I drink my tea as sweet iced tea (sweetened with sugar or Splenda). I do take hot tea with lemon juice and honey for the throat once in a while.
I like my coffee black, with milk or half-n-half, and Splenda.
If I really need a boost, I go for the 5 Hour Energy first. Then coffee, or Diet Mt. Dew Code Red over ice.

My wife is from Oklahoma and calls sweet iced tea the "house wine of the south".

Coffee all morning, strong. Tea at 8pm, English Breakfast type. I used to love Earl Grey but now it tastes like dirt to me.
Very hard to find good plain iced tea in the US, most taste like liquid tree bark. The mango-papaya-raspberry-ginger concoctions are vomitous. Best to make my own. Luzianne brand is big in the Southern US and quite tasty.

I don't know what fruity teas you're talking about, but spiced tea is a southern US tradition. I can't stand more than a few sips of it, but most people here like it.
I don't do hot tea, except for various herbals.
Otherwise, it's coffee for me, black or with cream. Must be brewed in my Bunn at home, because there are no other coffee makers that do it right. None. Regardless of the price.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

So, you are not a fan of Keurig machines then?

They'll do in a pinch, certainly better than most.

Ruin the taste of a great tea with sugar and milk (wanted to say limey surge and milk, but might offed some peeps)
and yum for a Green Tea brewed in the Sun for a day then poured over ice

I am sure somebody on Code Project drinks Bigelow Constant Comment tea but they are too shy to admit it.
Not me, of course.. just sayin'
If I did drink it, I would have it straight. No milk and absolutely no sugar.

1) Here, tea is the preferred choice without any spoilers such as milk or sugar. All kinds excluding those mentioned by OP as those are not considered tea.
Good black Ceylon as a day starter, variety of greens for afternoon.
Evenings with a Goral or Original version of Tatratea (Drinkhacker review - Tatratea[^]). 
Coffee only as a digestion accelerator with a bunch of milk...
2) Porcelain cup is a must & strainer too

Hmmm, we average almost 5 pages a day in the lounge, including weekends...still not enough sometimes to keep me from getting work done. (or worse, venturing into Q/A!)

I see the temps for Fargo and surrounding areas, and I am just glad I am slightly frozen and easily microwaved.

It's so cold here in Texas that I had to wear a thicker short-sleeve shirt to work...

That made me chuckle.
