Coffee Lovers: Would you?

I wonder how big that $5 cup is, I don't want one of those teeny espresso cups.

oh, hell, no!

That's just a tease, and would piss me off.

I'm not into green tea, too weak for me.
I protest all the time (to those few who care) that green "tea" is not tea. It's brewed similarly to tea, and is a hot liquid drink, but it is not tea.

"Tea" should refer to one of two plant genera: the Camellia Sinensis from China, Tibet or Japan, or the Camellia Assamica from North East India. There are hybrids of course but "green tea" is not one.

Nor is chamomile, raspberry or licorice "tea". They are just boiled green, red or yellow leaves and stems.

I'll stick to A&p thanks.

I've had some Jamacian blue Mountain coffee. I would rate it right up there with mississippi river mud for flavor and coloring. Truly something you could float a horseshoe in.


I'm longing for some Blue Mountain coffee ... had a wonderful trip to the source a number of years ago... fond memories

It depends on your definition of 'tea'.
I've always thought of tea as a beverage made by steeping leaves ect. in hot water...not by its particular plant.

That's the crux of it, Vellala. Tea used to refer to the plants I mention above. Later (and I blame the hippies!) the word came to refer to other hot beverages. P.

....In Morocco, the Berbers encourage goats to climb the trees to eat the fruit. They later gather the goats' excrement and remove the pits, which they grind for oil to be used in massage, in cooking and as an aphrodisiac. ....

no wonder the teenagers get horny(er) when they sit on the basement carpet :rolleyes: shouldn'ta bought the berber ... dumb
 
i really like a strong cup o jo. strangely, i think that fresh ground coffee often smells skunky. love kona...but even folgers has a decent brew for those of us who are trying not to break the bank on our daily addictions.
