Did Amelia Earhart Like Coffee or Tea?

Did Amelia Earhart like coffee or tea?
— Amelia Earhart
From Travis's 2016 curiosity journal

When Amelia Earhart crossed the Atlantic alone in 1932, she brought a thermos of hot soup. No drama. No big send-off ritual. Just soup, instruments, and a destination. She believed the best preparation for anything was simplicity — don't carry more than you need, don't complicate what's already hard. She flew 2,000 miles over open ocean on a thermos of soup and a belief that she could. Turns out that was enough.
