Tea or Coffee?

Prosperous

I actually don't mind tea now that I think of it. My girlfriend drinks a lot of it.

Prosperous Is that an endorsement? LOL.

Prosperous

Ha ha, from my girlfriend most probably. I'm not enough of a connoisseur for tea or coffee to know my leaf or roast to be honest.

Coffee, preferably mocha, black and unsweetened. Can't start the day without it.

Prosperous going to the gym with some friends will help keep those kilograms at bay.

Seriously man, those KGs are all about diet.

Ask Toby about 'boring food'... ?

Both ?

antonjw

Anyway, me.

Tea, mostly. Black: no milk, no sugar, hot. Preferably from leaves.

Preferred leaf / blend: A good old English Breakfast or Assam, or Earl Gray (Clipper).

Filter coffee some mornings. Black: no milk, no sugar, hot-hot.

Preferred sort: something a bit fruity or dark. Strength 4.

love both, but in my country black tea is kind of tradition, so tea mostly

sijad See, coffee is pretty traditional here in the States, so I love seeing people who defy tradition in their beverages. ?

I'm from the UK, myself.

Tea is the national drink here... we got it from one of our other colonies ?

Dakoom

Coffee!

antonjw And as I recall, resold it for a hefty profit to all the other colonies. It's little wonder why one of them went to the stuff grown on their own continent. ?

Actually, I was reading about why the UK is so tea obsessed, and it apparently has to do with that lovely rivalry you had with France. France didn't like you, and blocked most of the imports of coffee, so the UK started importing tea from Ceylon rather than pay the hefty tariffs for coffee. So while the continent went to the grinder, you steeped leaves and sipped away.

jordanjay29 I thought you guys liked it so much, you had a Party. I don't know what went wrong? ?

Anyhow, I am defying the national tradition of putting preggo cow juice and powdered white sick into a perfectly good cuppa ?

antonjw

jordanjay29 France didn't like you

Sacre bleu! What?!

The UK is currently trying to piss off the EU for being too organised and not really needing good old Blighty to achieve it... (that superior sea-faring island nation, dontcha know).

Nothing much changes ?

The story is that they threw it all in the harbor. (Blech. A little salt is good in coffee, not so good in tea.)

I rather like the stuff, so I moved to Japan ... only to discover that they steep it raw here. ?

Dominion Not a good matcha for you?

Cheun

Beer ? perhaps Whiskey ?

but between Tea or Coffee... I love off of both so I can't really choose. Sometimes I go half/half. It's rather good.

In fact I do like green tea (except for breakfast) ... was just going for the laugh. ?
