Maybe, but Taiwan and Australia have some of the best coffee these days.

As an Australian i thought that was weird since we clearly favor coffee and have a very proud coffee culture so i looked it up.
Turns out that statement is completely false. We drink more coffee than tea which matches my anecdotal experience.

Yeah, the 'flat white' espresso/milk drink which is now sold all over the world is from Australia.
I guess coming up with a new drink that appeals to people enough to go global happens easier in a place with a coffee culture.
As a Swede who enjoys the occasional flat white: thanks, Australia! :)
Yeah, given you bump into a different coffee shop every 100ft in Melbourne, I'd be surprised if tea was winning.
Not to mention Vietnam and Indonesia, which are the second and third largest coffee producers in the world.
They all import same coffee from south america/africa regions
