Poll finds American millennials shifting from coffee to tea
A new YouGov poll suggests that younger Americans are ditching their coffee habit and are increasingly turning towards tea. The US remains a major consumer of coffee, with the average person drinking 23 gallons of it in 2013, although that's only half of what a typical American drank in 1946. On the other end, the consumption of tea grew by 20% from 2000 to 2014 and is increasingly popular among young adults. Of people under 30 surveyed about their beverage of choice, tea garnered an equal amount of votes as coffee, both at 42%. Over a quarter of under-30s say they only drink tea, compared to only 18% of them who only drink coffee.
