As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
For the tea snob I once was, the tides have turned in TL is drinking more flavored tea as I just do not care for tea anymore. I think it is China has cheapened what as tea as much as Lipton, as I liked a robust tea, sometimes flavored and all times with honey and cream.
As it is, we started drinking designer flavored coffee in the metro and most mornings that is all we drink in some kind of flavor with, fake creamer and honey. It is not like I drink allot, but it is a cup, topped off a few times is all I want. I guess I probably drink more flavor than coffee now.
What TL gets is Geisha coffee. It is still like all coffee now, more expensive than it is worth, but somedays it is about the only sweet spot in my day of the gloom of some chit which happened on that day.
I still like perked coffee in the old cowboy way. Now eggs or things to mellow things, just the coffee and no electric things percolating it, even if I have a pretty little coffeemaker which holds like 2 cups and would be fun to play with.
I'm not drinking coffee for caffeine or anything else. Just is a giant pacifier now that tea has lost it's comfort factor for me which is a shame as I have been a tea drinker since childhood and one of the few people who ever drank tea in the world of non stop coffee at every cafe.
