....And Now For Something Completely Different!

[Lucky13]

I love my tea and coffee....what is there out there, that needs to be tried?

....and I'm not talking about that expensive sht, whatever it was called again!

What's your favourites?

 

[ARTESH]

Have you ever tried "چای نبات"?

Or mint tea? Or Cinamon tea?

Cherry tea, saffron tea?

 

[ARTESH]

Just like Rice, you can add almost any herbal / spices to tea and you'll have "that thing" tea.

Rooibos (red bush tea) is what I drink

 

[ARTESH]

Is it enough to show how much I love tea?

I quite like a Dirty Chai

Well, for coffee I brew Lavazzo, ground from beans, and my choice of tea is Pu Erh

both for taste and medicinal purposes (it helped bring down my cholesterol levels).

Cat poop coffee…

In the Nav I got acclimated to "boiler scale remover" coffee, which doesn't seem to exist here on the outside. Then our local coffee roaster company came out with "No Surrender", which will dissolve the scale without etching those delicate tubes. Hallelujah!

I'm not a tea-drinker, unless it's unsweetened iced-tea, so have nothing to offer there.

I don't know where you are, but here my favorite coffee beans are both good-quality and affordable ($8 for an 13-oz can), brand is called "Java Beans and Joe" and they're sourced world-wide so they have about ten varieties at my local store. I like their Sumatran Mandheling and Ugandan beans best, myself.

Like X XBe02Drvr , I like my coffee strong. What I don't finish I should be able to use as paint-thinner.

Wait for a very hot humid day and have a normal espresso type coffee with an ice cube in it, Japanese drink a lot of it.

Black-peach tea, medium on the cream, light to medium on the sugar. I usually am not a tea drinker but I quite like this blend. I usually buy the brand "Stash", but I have had several brands and they were all pretty good. It can be made quite strong and still have a distinct taste.

Columbian Select (~pure Columbian bean) coffee from the Keurig 'K-cup' type coffee machine, twice brewed for a 16-20 oz. cup. It is smooth enough that I can drink it with or without cream and sugar.

Kona coffee is my second choice.

Hey Gnomey,

re "Cat poop coffee…"

From the doctor's lounge? Or are the nurses in your country also coffee assassins?

 

[SaparotRob]

I am a troglodyte. I drink instant.

 

[ThomasP]

Some instant is pretty good. My younger sister really likes Folgers brand.

 

[SaparotRob]

That's it.

 

[ThomasP]

She deliberately does not let me see how she makes it. i swear she does something different, and does not 'just add hot water'.

 

[SaparotRob]

Bourbon?

 

[ThomasP]

Has anyone else tried coffee made from liquid concentrate? Some of the nursing homes in the area use decaf concentrate. The result is a very smooth tasting coffee that I can actually drink without cream or sugar, and does not taste like paper. It is the only decaf coffee I have found that does not taste like it has paper as an ingredient.
