So I’ve got this highly unscientific theory. Initially I was going to post a while back that there are two kinds of people: coffee people and tea people. It was a redundant and unenlightened post. However, after mulling things over a bit more and discussing the thought over a basket of chips and a cup of guac with Rhea, I’ve decided things are a bit more complex.  Not only are there coffee people and there are tea people, but the coffee people are left brain people and the tea people are right brain people.

Left brain people are more logical and rational and just more on the organizational tip.  Right brain folks are intuitive, holistic and usually on the artsy-ish side. Again, this isn’t an exact science, but characterizing a quick list of friends confirmed this classification system.

The major exception to the rule that I can think of is my parents: my mother definitely should be a coffee person but is a staunch Earl Greyer, my dad should have been a major tea gulper but was usually seen with a mug of joe.

Interesting follow-up tidbit: I’d generally consider myself a tea person, but I can go for a good cup of coffee now and then. Whenever I’ve taken the left and right brain test I usually come out 50-50. Even more strange: for a while during college I thought I was a coffee person…or maybe I tried to be a coffee person. Hmmm…
Someone’s had to have done a study on this before, right? Find it.
