I got this stuff called Gyokuro, and over the course of about a week and a half, its eaten away all of the old tea deposits that were in my stainless steel mug, like seriously, the bottom of my cup used to be a light brown from all the build up, this stuff turned it a bright shiny good as new silver.

A little unnerving, but damn does it taste good

Usually I think they taste like ass and you can get a better kick or just as good of a kick out of coffee or espresso.

I've resorted to caffeine the past 3 days, I am twitching in my damn seat doing production rate calculations.

Most people I work with are just Starbucks fans, so I thought I’d post this on here instead.

I’m trying to expand out into single-origin coffees. Every day, I grind whole beans and make a drip-brewed coffee. I don’t have an espresso machine; however I have looked into getting one since I enjoy Americanos so much. For right now, I’m looking into finding good single-origin coffees that are:

A. Shade Grown
B. Sustainable
C. Fair Trade

My girlfriend had a favorite coffee house in DC that served this brand of coffee that I am going to try first. If you have any other suggestions, let me know

I went to some tea store that opened up in my local mall finally. I always thought I hated hot drinks but when I purchased a cute tea pot from work, I figured fuck it, time to give it another shot.

I started with some kind of organic jasmine green tea which was nice, but that was stuff from Superstore and I wanted to try something different. So today I picked up some of this:

This stuff really smells amazing. I thought that it might just kind of taste the same, but after brewing some and having a go at it, this stuff really does taste fruity and good. I could probably even drink this one without honey.

I love this place, and next time I'm going to try something different, maybe something with caffeine in it (this one has none and I could use a pick up sometimes). Not a bad price either. I bought a re-usable tin and 50 grams of loose tea for $9. Next time if I bring the tin to be filled I get some kind of discount and it has a nice seal, so my stuff is fresh.

Give chai a try, its something my GF turned me on to.

Pu-erh, special aged Chinese tea for lowering fat and cholesterol. Often found in dim sum restaurants to make you feel better about having all that fatty sweet food, like having a Diet Coke with your Extra Large Value Meal.

I got some little bricks of it yesterday (2 infusions per serving) and it's helping me get through graveyard shift.

I wish I used a french press more... I just brew through a cone filter normally.
Also, I always drink black coffee, except when I make a [cold] dessert coffee out of left-over coffee from the morning.

Mint tea = best damn tea ever.
