Mmm. Tea.
Warm, cozy thought.
Thanks, Joe.

Would definitely die without tea.
ORANGE PEKOE! Mid day - perhaps even tea time.

It's a cheap Ceylon black tea made, supposedly from the stronger leaf-tips of the tea plant. Almost all the tea drunk in Britain is Ceylon tea.CharleyH said:I have 4 different coffees in my freezer at any time. I also had teas at one time and would only use loose leaf, not bags. What is is a PG tip?
I'm also a coffee fanatic, but that's strictly for the mornings. Otherwise I'd be just too frantic, my dear.
Which has more caffeine, tea or coffee?

What's your coffee doing in the freezer. I thought it was dry goods?CharleyH said:I have 4 different coffees in my freezer at any time. I also had teas at one time and would only use loose leaf, not bags. What is is a PG tip?
I'm a tea savage (any ol bag will do) and a coffee snob (kenyan arabica or bust).

LOLOL
I have my Coffee in the morning. (A personal Blend of Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona. The Beans are stored in the Freezer and pulled out a few scoops at a time.)
In the afternoon and evening it is Tea. Early Afternoon, especially when it is cold out I have my Black Teas. In the evenings though it is green tea.

Edit to add: I grind them daily!
Oh, dear.
<looking down nose; sniffing>
Freezing one's beans is no longer the done thing. It turns the natural oils into a powdery sludge-like substance useful for patching driveway asphalt. For optimum freshness, one should buy only enough coffee beans to last for a week to ten days and store them at room temperature with as little air in the container as possible. I have this on the best authority: Martha Stewart, who was forced to drink coffee from frozen beans while in prison. (Perhaps you are punishing yourself?)
Of course, even we coffee snobs have only limited control over the freshness of our coffee, since we have no way of knowing how long the beans have been stored and under what conditions. I'm considering the purchase of a small coffee plantation like the one where Meryl Streep hosted those intimate dinner parties with Robert Redford in "Out of Africa." If the roasting shed burns down, I'll sell the beans as "Dark Roast."

Coffee: For some people it's the ritual, for me it's the caffeine.
I aspire to be Italian (for no other reason than I think their lifestyle is cool). So I studied the home life of my Italian friends, with ballpoint pen and clipboard: Here's how they (and I, in imitiation) have their morning coffee.
First off, they use one of those little Moka Express machines, (few peole have espresso machines, mainly becasue they're never as good as the big, super-expensive ones you see in every cafe). They use high-street bought Illy or Lavazza coffee (both equally popular).
Caffe Latte is drunk only first thing in the morning. After that its espresso (or espresso macchiato, (which means "stained caffe ") with a dash of cold milk, if you're gay or a woman).
The key is to minimize the water content. Watery coffee is just not drunk anywhere. If they want it weak, they add a lot of hot milk.

Treat your arteries to a cup of cafe con leche: a thimble full of thick, black, ruthless Cuban coffee poured over a glob of sweetened condensed milk.
It's so bad it's good.
I want one of those. I think.
Last month, I thought I wanted a French press. I got over it.
