Coffee or Tea

I've long held that certain goodies are best with coffee and optimal with tea. Here are a few examples, based on my personal taste.

1. Coffee: Great with chocolate chip cookies, toffee cookies, apple pie and pound cake just to name a few.

2. Tea(black): great with macadamia nut cookies, lemon chess pie and oatmeal cookies.

What do you think? Do you have any coffee/tea pairing preferences?

I don't drink coffee, and I think almost all sweet things - cake, cookies, pastries, etc go better along with a hot cup of tea. I'm sure coffee would work pretty well too.

After a sweet bite, a few sips of tea cleanses the palate and provides a good contrast to the sweetness, so you don't get saturated the next bite will be just as sweet. And if the sweet is chocolate, the tea warms the mouth so the chocolate melts more and releases more flavor. I'm sure most of this works with coffee as well.
