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.

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.

Status: offline 		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.

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

Thank you for sharing.

Seems odd though that Turkish tea is that young.

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.

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