"White sugar is for tea, while brown sugar is for coffee." Is that true? Why is it so ? Thank you!?

White sugar is just sweet, it has very little flavor other than adding sweetness. So it doesn't interfere with the delicate flavors of tea. Brown sugar has some flavor as well, the flavor of molasses, the 'raw sugar' flavor. Someone thinks that goes better with coffee. But a lot of people would rather have white sugar in their coffee.

Also I like honey in my tea because it does have some flavor beside just being sweet....Show more

I usually drink pure loose leaf tea, without adding any sugar, to enjoy its original taste. For fruit tea or herbal tea, the white sugar will make them tasteful....Show more

I worked in a coffee shop and I have never seen anyone put brown sugar (save for sugar in the raw I guess, which is not really the same) in their coffee...Show more

No, it isn't true. Some people may prefer one kind of sugar in a certain beverage, but that doesn't make doing that true. It's just their preference.
'True' is what you'd say about something that's universally known as a fact, like you'll get wet if you stand in the rain....Show more
