I am not so sure they do, nowadays. Historically, tea came from well controlled parts of the British Empire such as India and Ceylon. Tea was therefore widely available and relatively cheap. While the Empire included some coffee growing areas such as Kenya, they were much smaller and less well connected to the trade routes, so coffee was traditionally much more of a luxury good for the well off.

Simply because a cup of tea solves everything. But you would have to be british to understand this answer.

I hate tea, yet put me with the choice between tea and coffee (which can be ok) I will always choose tea. Tea is traditionally consumed by office workers between the hour of 7 and 12, and builders all day long. Rather than a massive burst of caffine, it's a gentler way to get through the day. It warms you up, wakes you up, calms you down, whatever you want! It's all the power of the magical tea. And It's so painfully british! You chuck in a couple of scones with Jam and cream, and we all start saying words like piffle, daper and splendid (and who could forget spiffing). You just have to love it!

Erm... we don't. Its just as common (if not more so actually) for British people to drink coffee.
