While the drinks list (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) is towards the bottom of my list of priorities when it comes to selecting flights it is nevertheless on there. Most airlines have similar brands of non-alcoholic drinks (Coke, generic OJ and AJ, Sprite, Schweppes, etc.) whereas there are more substantial differences when it comes to booze.

You'll find that extensive reviews will pay attention to coffee and tea if the airline serves coffee/tea that stands out. IIRC some reviewers have mentioned on AA flights to HKG that the HKG based crews could prepare great milk teas on demand or that airline X serves great espresso in C/F.
If the coffee/tea is just ordinary airline coffee/tea, then it - just like the standard non-alcoholic drinks on the list - isn't worthy of being mentioned.
PS: Merely comparing price tags of bottles is obviously non-sense.
