pie-eater 207 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Perhaps they should have their own threads, but... coffee and tea. I noticed a bit of chat about it in the Chat box. I drink a lot of tea, bags brought back from England. I think I should be more adventurous. Friend of mine supplies me with some very nice coffee beens. Usually keep them for the weekend. Just love the smell of coffee. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 yeah me too, one the best smells ever.....freshly ground coffee!! mmmm. Love tea as well and I also get some sent out from home, although I now have a Tesco reasonably close by and I can get UK tea bags in there Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Excellent. I don't eat breakfast. Instead I brew a 1 litre pot of tea. I have a very nice glass teapot with a container in the centre to hold the tea, like a coffee plunger. Warm the pot, a tablespoon of tea, and pour the boiling water through the leaves. Press the plunger, and the tea is off the leaves and won't stew. Job done. I'm a MIF (milk in first), allegedly the sign of a pleb. No sugar. Tea has to be Ceylon Broken Orange Pekoe. When I lived in Perth I could get estate packed Loolacondera BOPF (Fannings) which made a superb strong cup. Here I buy Ceylon blended leaf tea from a local importer. When I get to work, the cake ladies always have freshly brewed coffee waiting for me. Then I'm good to go. Link to post Share on other sites
snowbender 3 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Fresh coffee and home made bread with home made jam. A magic Sunday morning recipie. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Coffee in a morning essential. Haven't had tea for quite a while, must get back into that. What is it, tea for the afternoon? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Coffee about 95% of the time but I do like a cup of tea once in while in the evening in place of my glass (or two) of red wine. Iced lemon tea at anytime on these hot days...but that doesn't really count, right? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I drink way too much coffee. It's more like a habit than actually wanting it I think. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Working in my office I have been able to cut down on the coffee intake. The only choice is the worst instant coffee ever created in the world ever by far, so it's easy to give it a miss! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Iced lemon tea and green tea definitely count. I drink both during the day, and when driving because they are great for thirst. But they are no good for breaakfast. In Thailand you can find green tea everywhere, but the heathens put sugar in it Link to post Share on other sites
loaf of bread 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Originally Posted By: snowbender Fresh coffee and home made bread with home made jam. A magic Sunday morning recipie. That sounds good. Fresh loaf of bread. Fresh coffee. Nice. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Does anyone admit to liking the hot coffee you can get in cans here? The sickly sweet things? That is just totally disgusting. Yuck. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I drink the black, no sugar. Memsahib buys litre cartons of perked coffee. That's much better than instant. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 i hate those cans of coffee.....I wonder how much actual coffee content is in them cos they taste like shit Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Drink tea throughout the day, probably too much for my own good. Tastes good but also is good at breaking up some of the boredom of late here. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I drink gallons of tea, I am 100% addicted to it. I will not leave my house in the morning until I have had my two cups of tea and of course a decent breakfast. Tea is full of antioxidants which helps clean out the body, so good for you as well. As well as English tea I do drink Japanese green tea, actually I have that in my flask every day as English tea tastes shite in a flask, where as green tea tastes fine.
