Coffee or tea?

"Andy" wrote in message news:[email protected]...


I rarely drink coffee. Once or twice a month I'll brew a couple of cups of
coffee. Caffeinated, otherwise what's the point? I drink it strong and
black. Sometimes I drink hot tea. (I can't stand the stereotypical
southern iced tea.) Hot tea infused with cardomon seeds, and I'm a milk in
first (MIF) kinda gal :)

The difference in cost between loose tea and tea bags is huge. I
haven't bought teabags in at least 15 years. Iced tea made with cheap
Chinese gunpowder is almost free until/unless one adds adjuncts like
lemon and Splenda.

$9.99 a kg last time I bought it.
I'm happy enough with medium priced coffee too, SuperValu's? Java
Delight?, which is probably in stores in most of the USA:

Goes on sale frequently for $4.99/12oz ground or whole bean (reg.
$5.99).

Depends on the circumstances.

Coffee in the morning. Tea at Chinese or
Japanese restaurants. Iced tea if the place
only has Pepsi and I want caffeine.
About once a year I make tea at home,
usually on a cold winter afternoon.

I'm not really enthusiastic about tea tho I do drink green tea in
Japanese and Chinese restaurants that don't sell beer. I also have an
occasional cup of white tea in the evening. I drink two mugs of coffee;
one after dinner and one with breakfast and perhaps another cup after
dinner in a restaurant. That's my total caffeine fix since I don't
really like coke.

Why decaf, if I may ask?

In our house, it's all good but it's all with whatever caffeine it came
with.

We drink espresso most of the time thanks a one-button espresso machine
(bought second-hand via craigslist). The machine has its own grinder
and makes delightful espresso. As the day goes on, we sometimes make
hot or cold lattes, and often flavor them with homemade vanilla syrup.

We have a drip coffee maker (also with its own grinder) we often use on
the weekends, just for a change of pace.

We're big green tea fans and make what's often known as gun powder green
tea by the pitcher and drink it iced all year long, often with a little
lychee-flavored syrup added. In the summer, I make batches of "boba",
the tapioca starch balls used for Bubble Tea, and we drink that, again
iced.

We both also like hot tea, both regular and green. One of my favorite
winter drinks during the day is a hot tea with one tea bag of English
Breakfast tea and a second tea bag that's herbal, just peppermint
leaves - I put both bags into a single, large cup and have peppermint
black tea.

If you're wondering how one even has time to drink all these, it's
because neither my wife nor I eat much during the day - it's usually
just a bite or spoonful or handful of this or that until dinner which
is, btw, a wonderful way to mind your total caloric intake and therefore
your weight.

Both. I frequently have coffee on the weekends. Now, during the week
in the mornings i have a cup of good Japanese loose green tea.

In the afternoons a cup of yerba mate.


Why is that?

Eight O'Clock 100% Columbian in the morning - straight up, no additives
'cause I like the taste of coffee
Iced tea from noon onward - not brand committed; but, Lipton-like orange
pekoe blend. - brewed, not instant, unsweetened, on rare occasion, with a
touch of lemon.

would not make coffee at all. Tea stains my teeth, so I avoid that,
although I like it, both hot and cold. The last time I had tea, was in
a Vietnamese restaurant in Seattle. We did not order tea, but they
brought it to the table and I tried it. Most of the time, I drink ice
cold water.

Becca,

Once upon a time, in Oakland, CA, I was apartment manager when they went
away on travel.

I occupied their apartment periodically for a period of time.

There was a tea cup that was ridiculously stained so, being my usual
self, I went about cleaning it all up. On their return I was scolded for
my tea cup cleaning. I thought I was doing a good deed.

Nobody told me!!!

Tea, of course. (I loathe coffee!!!!!) I like a nice
darjeeling. But I'll drink almost any tea. I also love
sassafras tea (the old version with whatever the "bad" stuff
is in it). I know it's not really tea, but I love the stuff.

I'm reminded of an art show I worked with John back in 2005. We were at
Buzzie's, a truly cool 1950's diner on route 66 (not kidding!) in Highland,
Illinois. We went there for breakfast. The server asked him if he wanted
coffee then turned to me and asked, "tea?" Why on earth she thought I
wanted tea I don't know. (John said it's because I look British... I'm not
sure what that means.) I do like hot tea, but to me that's an afternoon
(tea time!) drink.

I remember tea & scones in Oxford, England, sometime between lunch and

come to a halt, in the hotel, anyway. ;)
