The Coffee & Tea Thread

Guybrush · 08-21-2010, 09:41 AM

I used to drink a lot of coffee back in the days. For some years, I also used to work at a cafè where I like to think I made some very nice cappucinos. However, when I quit smoking, I simply had to quit coffee as well. Drinking a cup of coffee just brought on the cigarette cravings - the association was just too strong. Coffee along with a handrolled cigarette used to be my favourite daily treat and I still miss it.

So, I gave up coffee and started drinking tea instead. Quite a lot of it too, I guess commonly a litre or more each day. My favourite blends are earl greys and if I see an earl grey I haven't tried, I have to get it! My favourite so far I guess must be a London blue earl grey with some blue flowers in it that I got as a present from my GF from a local tea shop around here somewhere. Brilliant!

Most of the tea I drink is the inexpensive kind though

Ahmad Earl Grey is fine and good old PG tips are alright in a pinch!

So what do you think? Got any favourites?
