I just had a sip of the best coffee ever! I don't know what kind, but it's smokey and strong, with none of that fruity/nutty aftertaste! Just smooth and dark. So it got me wondering, how do you like your coffee/tea/hot drink of choice? I usually go for something like a French Roast, black. [sm=coffee.gif]

Mmmm.... I think I am going to go make some now! I put about 1/2 a cup of coffee (I'm digging Folgers Black Silk now), a splash of vanilla (real vanilla, not imitation!) and a 1/2 cup of Splenda in the french press.... Pour boiling water over it, let it sit for about 10 minutes. Pour into a large coffee cup, 1/2 milk 1/2 coffee. If you can't finish the whole pot, it's great because you can put it in the fridge and have a cold coffee when you get home. Even cold, I still do 1/2 milk 1/2 coffee. Sometimes, if I'm feeling exotic, I'll put in cocoa powder instead of vanilla. Yum!!

I am a tea drinker. I rarely indulge in caffiene so 99% of what I drink is herbal or a herbal supplement. Currently I am enjoying two teas from Celestial Seasonings: AM Detox (it needs honey) and Tangerine Zinger (makes a great sun tea). I admit to being hooked on the ginger tea by Yogi.

If it's tea i like taking rooibos and powdered peppermint leaf, tossing them in a glass with a fresh, sweet cinnamon stick and than pour hot water over it. Let that steep for three minutes and ZOMG<3. If it's hot carob though, i like it with vanilla ricemilk, cinnamon and cumin. drool

Well the creature isn't that exotic.[:D]

FR, after read thru Mmmmmmmm, tea, mmmmmmmmmmmm, coffee . . ... . . As a caffeine addict, I have to have some baseline caffeine intake or I get a wicked nasty withdrawal headache. I like most all forms of black / green / white tea . . . . . I like tea plain. & tea that's cooled down tastes just fine, whereas with coffee I only like it 'piping hot' or 'ice cold' . . . . . . My favorite tea these days is fresh ginger tea. Just chop or shred a coupla 'fingers' of fresh ginger & put into water that's almost come to a boil, simmer for a little while. (It can be boiled, which gives the flavor a hint of caramel-ish tones, but I like it better simmered delicately . . . .) It's way spicy, so beware; I like it strong . ... . I also like peppermint tea a lot. (Ginger & peppermint teas do not contain caffeine, FYI . . . . . ) & coffee . . . . . . . I love coffee. With cream & no sugar, or just a pinch of raw sugar or a drop or two of molasses . . . . . I generally drink a mix of French roast & house or Columbian . .. . . I like to get beans & grind it myself as I make the coffee, & I mostly have just made it by the cup & I like it strong. My coffee has been compared (favorably, I think) with defibrillator pads, lol . . . . .

I love a rich, strong Kenyan...and for coffee I like Columbian! LOL But seriously, I gave up coffee for a while, just now getting back into it, but it has to be Columbian and I like hazelnut or just regular cream in it, with a bit of raw sugar. I don't believe I would ever try Kopi Luwak

VanityFix -> RE: Oh this is good... (8/13/2009 2:53:37 AM)
black coffee is the best, any dark roast im not too picky.

soul2share -> RE: Oh this is good... (8/13/2009 3:54:41 AM)
I prefer Irish Breakfast tea with honey if it's hot, w/splenda if it's iced, and it's great iced! Not the same taste as English Breakfast, it's milder.....I love the smells of coffee, never developed a taste for it tho.....it's bitter to me. But I do like my tea strong...I usually leave the tea bags in it while I drink it, or if it's iced in the pitcher.

daintydimples -> RE: Oh this is good... (8/13/2009 3:59:20 AM)
I love the raspberry tea, too. Okay I admit it, I'm a tea junkie !!!

stella41b -> RE: Oh this is good... (8/13/2009 4:22:08 AM)
For coffee for me it ideally to be from the arabica bean and smell like quality milk chocolate. That saying I drink supermarket coffee - the cheapest budget brand but only from Sainsbury's (where it is really Tchibo) and Tesco's (it's actually Maxwell House) to avoid drinking the gunky stuff like Nescafe. But I usually have arabica coffee in a tin bought from a little Turkish shop on the other side of London. I drink coffee black, unsweetened, and either americanos or in little espresso cups. I drink tea which can be quality black tea, loose leaf green tea or rooibos, usually black, unsweetened, but sometimes I will add fruit such as mango, lemon, or raspberry. I also drink yerba from Paraguay or Argentina instead of tea or coffee. The good thing about yerba is that unlike tea you can make a pot of it and leave it knowing that it doesn't lose its flavour or become bitter like tea.

I work in a Turkish restaurant, but I've never tried Turkish coffee! That's something I should get on. I like my tea on the weaker side. I just got a bag of green tea leaves, and it's wonderful! I'm surprised at how few leaves are actually needed. I read "yerba" on a bottle at the grocery store. I really have no idea what it is, though.
