Coffee all day long - preferably Mocha Java when I can afford it. Cream, no sugar. I switch to tea in the afternoon - Stash looseleaf peach black tea or Earl Grey. I do like a good cup of Chai when it's snowy and cold out. |

Occasionally I really like a good cup of Joe-and I mean a good cup. Nothing worse than bad coffee! With that said, I usually drink tea-absolutely love Earl Grey.

ooh all this coffee and tea makings sounds wonderful. I would love to grind my own coffee if only to smell it going. Yes, I am the crazy lady at the grocery store over your shoulder sniffing while you are grinding your coffee beans.
Mine is 2 creamer, 2 sugars. Hubby cheats and uses french vanilla creamer as he says he cant stand the taste of coffee. Im not a big tea drinker, but I love souther sweet tea in the summer.
This is a neat subject! Love hearing everyones coffee/tea habits. :)

This week I've been getting the water hot on the wood stove, and cooking up my coffee in the french press (fresh ground beans). I love doing it just one, hot cup at a time. I switch to decaf or cocoa in the afternoon so I'm not up all night. I know some folks sleep right after having a cuppa, I'm just not one of them.
I also really like tea, loose tea brewed for awhile and run through a strainer. My favorites are dark or spicy. Assam, Darjeeling and peppermint (the real stuff) are what I go for.
Then there's a nice hot cup of cider, but that's a different story altogether.

I don't know why but I can drink Coffee *not decaf* right up to the time I slip my feet under the blankets. I had a coffee shop years ago and acquired the taste for coffee when I was in my 20's. I only drink one BIG cup in the mornings and throughout the day I can drink another. I do drink Tea hot & cold in between.. and Coke Zero.
No wonder i get so much done.. Ha!

I love both coffee and tea, and oh yes my hot cocoa when it's cold outside!
For the ultimate hot cocoa experience, add a bit of peppermint schnapps or peppermint oil...yuuuuummmy!
Audrey, there are lots of teas out there that are naturally caffeine free. My favorite is peppermint, but I also enjoy a cup of chammomile.

Looks like coffee is the clear winner here. I used to drinks tons of it but the the caffeine started affecting me. So I switched to decaf. Alas, the acid started bothering me. So I switched to tea, PG tea to be precise. Now I can have 2 cups first thing in the morning and if it's a busy day I might be able to squeeze another cup in before 1:00. Anytime after that and I'm up all night! Sigh...

Hey Ladies!
So I'm a so to be manager at Starbucks. Been with the company for 2 1/2 years. I love coffee. I drink it in every form. iced, hot, shots of espresso. When I have to get up in the morning and that is the 1st place I have to be it's hard to say that I am not addicted. When I am off or don't have to be to work 1st thing in the morning you better believe that I brew a fresh cup of coffee. I like it bold, but I am also a sweet person who likes to doctor it up. I like pairing my coffee with food. Different food brings out different flavors in your coffee. Something to keep in mind. My favorit holiday drink is the gindersnap latte. It has actual crystalize ginger on top and as it falls through your drink it disolves and then at the bottom you have extra chuncks of ginger. 
As for grinding your own coffee it is fresher when you do that!
Yummy...i think i want a cup right now!

Hey AnneMarie, I had a Eggnog Latte @ Starbucks on Friday.
I so enjoy my 1 cup of coffee in the mornings and then I drink both green & black teas through out the day depending on my mood.
As for Chi tea, I keep a canister of "Oregon Chi" in my pantry along w/gourmet hot cocoa mixes...one to try is the Hazelnut Chocolate cocoa...sold at Cost Plus-World Market.
Ok, now that I have read all these posts, I need to go make myself a nice hot cup of cocoa, yep w/marshmellows!

I do not like the taste of coffee but the smell is heaven. It reminds me of my Grandparents house on the mornings I got to sleep over. My Grandmother would perk the coffee for my Grandfather before he went to work. What a memory. I love to drink Chai Tea. I use David Rio sugar free spice. I even have my husband drinking this.

Coffee is my favourite. I'm so looking forward to Starbuck's Eggnog Lattes. I try to buy Fair trade as much as I can, it's only fair the farmers deserve to earn a living wage. I have two favourite companies Kicking Horse Coffee and Salt Spring Island Coffee (both Canadian).
However I do love a good herbal tea, my favourites are chamomile/lavendar (which I make in BIG batches by myself) and India Spice (by Yogi Teas). |

Clay and I went on an Eco-Tour of Costa Rica last year and while there toured a coffee plantation. Cafe'Brit they produce a fair-trade shade grown organic coffee. The whole tour was very interesting. Costa Rican coffee is very Mild and smooth tasting. I prefer a French Press to brew my coffee..

I used to be a coffee girl, but it seems like after I drink it I don't feel good . . . not the acid or anything, I just get a headache and feel generally yucky. So I just do it once in a while and mostly do tea. My favorite is Good Earth. It has wonderful cinnammon and cloves type spices and is naturally sweet because of papaya. I made iced tea with it when we had a farmgirl gathering at MaryJanes and she loved it. I have to admit, just good old fashioned hot cocoa with miniature marshmallows every now and then makes my heart sing . . . reminds me of wintery days after school when my mama would fix me a nice hot mug of it, along with fresh baked cookies.
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda

Coffee. I do it half decaf and half reg. I have drank it reg. but my heart starts skipping , so am trying to go fully decaf. I cannot quit drinking coffee, so decaf is good for me.
Does anyone use the fair-trade shade grown organic? It's expensive, but so good.
I do like a good cup of hot peppermint tea with honey. I have done the dandilion tea. My dad always had us kids go out and pick the flowers and he'd steep them in hot water. Then strain and add honey. It is so good. My grandkids love it, too.

ooo I love both, I have to not overdo it on caffeine though cause it affects me badly. I love flavored or cafe au lait and any type of tea usually, the more relaxing/exotic the better! I have yet to try some of those tea flowers......

Oh yeah.. for sure..A tragedy. keep a bag ground around for Emergencies girlfriend...Nothing better than fresh ground...
My step daughter works at a roaster in Monroe Washington, so she keeps her dad in supply of french roast or Fogger roast. She send him 10Lb bag like four times a year. We rebag it and shrink wrap it. We also purchase Starbucks at Costco whole bean &freeze it in smaller bags. SIL worked as a Starbucks barista in Seattle for a few yeaars and he told me Not to freeze it but I do ... I can't tell the difference if the beans have been frozen or just stored in airtight vacumn sealed bags...
