Sosso Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I haven't saw a thread about that topic yet. My favourite tea blends are Earl Grey, Orange, Citrus, Chun Mee and Lung Ching. I like to drink espresso and coffee from vietnam. I wanna try Kona blend soon. How do you like to drink your tea and/or coffee?

BlueJean Baby Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Not much of a tea drinker, unless it's iced tea, Southern girl here, so it has to be sweet. 😆 Prefer black iced teas. Love coffee, lattes. Cream and sugar for my coffee, prefer bold coffee over the blonde types. Love caramel mocha lattes and during Christmas, Starbucks eggnog lattes were awesome. ☕☕☕☕ Edited January 21, 2018 by BlueJean Baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Im sipping a coffee now. I have a low acid Arabica Coffee with Chaga Mushrooms blend. The beans are "monsoon aged" which is how they become low acid. I also put a Tbsp each of collagen peptides and cocoa powder in in the french press. I always brew two mugs! I add a splash of coconut oil and some 3.25% milk to my mug. It tastes like a macaroon, especially if I treat myself to a pinch of raw sugar. I love the ritual of brewing coffee at home; the sound of the whistling kettle, the various pours, the gentle scrape of the spoon in the sugar, the ding of the spoon on the mug, the mugs contact with the coaster or surface. And if sharing with someone the inevitable sigh of relief or "mmmmm." I love the ways we grip the mugs for comfort and warmth or even to project active listening. Or how the 'mostly empty cold cup of coffee' is some peoples talisman. I go in and out of enjoying green tea. I used to make an iced tea turbo cider that people really enjoyed. I make pop/soda out of herbal tea blends and love that stuff. Drink it daily. And naturally I love a double-double from Tim Hortons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) @soon Have you tried chinese tea yet? They have wonderful blends. I highly recommend their green tea, nameley Chun Mee (Jiangxi) and Lung Ching (Hangzhou). Those are my favourites from that country.

When I go to a Chinese restaurant they serve tea to start. Is that likely to be one of these types? I love that stuff. Tea is generally too thin of a liquid for me to drink warm. When I drink green tea I mix it with bubbly mineral water. Maybe Ill have to try making a pop out of some Chinese teas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I can’t drink hot tea - the taste just makes me sick and turns my stomach. Doesn’t matter what kind. I’m a coffee addict, however. At least 3 cups a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ringtons if I'm drinking English Breakfast Tea, and, Chinese tea - I tend to go back-and-forth between the two. The ''Ringtons Man'' drops Ringtons off at my Grandma's. I do not really have a distinct Chinese brand; occasionally I will put a bit of root ginger in Chinese team. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I drink Kenco sachets of the instant stuff when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really bother with coffee much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineater Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I have Lady's High Tea today. If you google that you come up with nothing but porn sites. It's an old fashion ladies get dressed up, have tea and finger food. She serves Lady Katherine tea, good stuff. Not sure how I'm going to dress for that as I have pinball league right after but I switch back to good old Folgers, my love and life's blood.

It’s weird, but just the smell of Earl Grey is enough to get me out of a room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 My maternal grandmother was from Liverpool so I was raised on tea.....

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I used to drink tea, but now I like the Hazelnut international instant coffee. I just drink it with breakfast. Sometimes I will get a Starbucks hazelnut latte, but not that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Rose Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just now, soon said: And naturally I love a double-double from Tim Hortons. But of course For me, no coffee beats instant Nescafe. ya ya instant, I know, I know. 1 milk, 1 sugar. (I hope someone is reading this and remembers. ) I like baby shoot loose green tea leaves from Toronto's China Town, but you pretty much have to mortgage your house to get it! Full of health benefits though. But on a rainy Sunday afternoon, it's Bigelow's Earl Grey..the bags are wrapped in foil to retain freshness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Scottish breakfast tea, kinda middling in strength with milk and a spoonful of honey. Tea is a major part of my life . I'm about to go back to Mexico though where black tea with milk is an utterly alien concept to most people. When ordering it, they've fucked it up in various spectacular ways, I've been served cold black tea with milk, I've been served a teabag floating in hot, frothy milk from a coffee machine... I was just like "Nooooo! Why would you do that?!". When I'm in Mexico my tea consumption drops from 3 cups or more a day to basically nil. Sad times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but naebody has a kettle, so you have to boil the water in a pot and then attempt to pour it into a mug without it going everywhere. Do-able, but a total faff.

James Bond Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Fresh ground black coffee is a real delight, but in the world of convenience I typically just but whatever is on sale. If I'm out and getting a coffee obviously being Canadian there's a Tim Hortons everywhere but I actually prefer the taste of McDonalds coffee. More flavour, especially black.
