    Coffee is my friend.

    I need to get another cup of coffee before I can finish this post...

    (Panache sips his from his third cup of the day)

    Ahhhhh much better. Where was I? Oh yes tea.

    My tea of choice is green tea. Though Trader Joes has a Lemon Ginger herbal tea that is very soothing when one has a cold.

    Hmmmm...time for more coffee.

    Cheers

    Mmmmm… I love Trader Joe's teas. They had this Egyptian Liquorice one that was simply divine… and a White Pomegranate tea… and a Chocolate flavoured herbal one (hints of coconut and vanilla) which was one of the best teas I've ever had…

    But, on a normal day, I prefer about 5+ cups of black tea throughout the day. Always at least 3 each day (one cup at each meal).

    Another good one is this one green tea from Stash; I don't remember what it was called, but it was the most aromatic and refreshing tea I've ever had.

    There's a store around here that sells Indian, Russian, and Middle Eastern foods. They sell these huge boxes of loose leaf tea (not sure what kind it is - can't whatever language it's printed in) for 3 bucks. It's not bad, but I do prefer Earl Grey over everything else.

    With my affiliation with the Canadian CG pictured below is Earl Grey;

    Won't drink the tea in case somebody has switched my tea for bilge water . I prefer coffee but when I do enjoy tea it's just regular old Orange Pekoe (with little finger raised of course).


    P.S. CCGS Earl Grey is now a floating hotel in Kingston Ontario.

    Loose leaf - as long as it's not that American muck! Friends used to send me 'Tea care packages' friom home (Australia) until I found this neat Armenian store that sells indian & Middle Eastern teas. Ah!, nothing like a good cuppa!
    Amgoorie & Robur was good in Oz, but Sheharazade is just as nice here.
    Coffee, I might drink once a month or so, not that keen on it. I guess it's whatever one was raised with. :beer: Budweiser is nice too.....

    Thumbs up

    Coffee, tea, beer, wine, as long as it is quality then it is a favorite. I do much less beer and wine these days than coffee and tea. For those of you interested, there is a new book out on tea: http://cooksshophere.com/ A couple more tea companies I have enjoyed are: http://www.tributetea.com/ and http://zokacoffee.com/, the latter also roasting coffee. On the coffee front, there is Intelligentsia at http://intelligentsiacoffee.com/, which does both coffee and tea. Intelligentsia and these next two roasters are probably the top three in the U.S if not beyond. SStumptown roasters at http://stumptowncoffee.com/ and Counter Culture Coffee here: http://www.counterculturecoffee.com/...tpage&Itemid=1 I usually patronize C3 monthly since they are right here in my back yard so to speak. Give any of these a try and you will have some of the best in the world.

    While some would assume it would be Irish Breakfast, my favourite tea is Twinings Darjeeling.
