The Old One here makes the absolute WEAKEST coffee in the universe ...
I have to arise at 5:30a.m. to beat her to the brewer, to be able to brew coffee w/ REAL taste
(not the "brown water" she prepares for herself) ...

I guess when you only 70lbs and 96,000YO, coffee is pretty strong if it isn't transparent!

Coffee? Did someone say coffee? Good god man! Are you ill? This is a civilised tea thread, we don't have time for coffee drinkers here! Now be off with you before I call the mods.

Coffee never touches the stuff.
My girlfriend drinks it black but otherwise couldn't care less if it has stood for days and is reheated. Will drink any brand, just as long as it is served black. Although I'm used to coffee drinkers being a very fussy bunch.

I don't tea either.
My thing is good quality hot chocolate.
Or good quality hot apple cider.
Or drinks that are brutally sour.

How about a lemon, yellow or green varity (I prefer the green) which you cut up and then pour boiling water over it. A quart or a litre, repeat once more. Drink it cold with no sugar. Then eat the cooked fruit - including the rind.

Hot chocolate with creme de menthe - and not the kind from the grocery store either!

Coffee with Bailey's and Kahlua when it is a nice -20 or -30 degrees outside, then come in and consume that to warm up.

So I emerged from the Batcave yesterday to do my weekly shopping in Tesco's. Left with some Yorkshire Gold and Mr Kipling's Lemon Slices amongst other goodies. Anyone for a brew and a slice?

Best wishes,
Steve

Just brewed a pot of evening tea, and pondering on my moves in MWIF. Life is indeed good. At least this moment is.

Went to the tea shop yesterday to restock. Bought almost 1 kg of tea. Time to brew a pot from the new stock. Anyone want a cup? I got some honey on the side.

A honey on the side? Does your wife know and approve?

No wife. So, at the moment, I have honey to sweeten my tea.

Interesting fact is Turkish tea is more popular and more traditional than Turkish coffee in Türkiye now. Historically Yemen and Southern Sudan was the provider of coffee long before tea was introduced in Ottoman times. Tea is only century old and produced locally.

Thank you for sharing.

Seems odd though that Turkish tea is that young.

Well i prefer coffee, elephants do as well if anyone catch my point.
Tea growth\plantages and elephant natural paths conflict. If it´s OK to mention that too, don´t want to take away anyone´s tea from them but elephants needs love as well.
I hope they can make it work for both parties eventually.

Some people claim that elephants are quite tasty so that solves the conflict so no problem.

As with most things on this planet there are different interests that conflict with each other. All we can strive for is to make a better world, and try to solve conflicts to the best of our abilities.

Well, if people were to kill and eat the elephants near the tea plantations then there would be no problem with the tea production. I understand that the elephants are quite tasty and some of them have pretty long teeth that can use turned into decorations and such things as well.

I would not suggest going up to and hugging a wild elephant as that can ruin your whole day.

I´ll take the company of a pack of elephants any day before a "nice" tea party sitting with a bunch of judgmental, prejudice and self absorbed humans that are just too full of themselves and treat animals like objects with no feelings.

This is a gaming site not an environmentalist site, I suggest that you check your attitude.
