This is strange as a question. I could understand somebody asking "Tea or coffee?" if they are offering the person a drink, but you normally wouldn't offer both together.

I'm about half way through the course, and haven't yet learned the word for 'or' (au). This would have been a good opportunity!

Mambo rafiki! I think many exercises are just to practice the Swahili grammar or translations. There is no context here. Still, there are a few sentences, and greetings that can be used in conversations. :)
