Coffee & Tea Etiquette in Nigeria

Tea is the more common everyday hot drink in many Nigerian homes and offices, while coffee is less central and is usually offered as an optional, often urban or hotel-style choice rather than a default. If you are invited for a drink, it is normal to accept what is served and to expect strong sweet tea, sometimes with milk or spices, while in some northern areas tea service can be a small social ritual around conversation and hospitality.
