I'm making more tea.

Help.

Opposite of a problem.

We've been brewing strong Gevalia coffee in.. some kindof pot that's a bit of a deviation from the standard, then refrigerating it for a day and having cold coffee.

It's really good especially with a bit of cinnamon added to the coffee grounds during brewing.

Not when you like your tea with sugar...

I grabbed a mocha coffee from a local coffee shop. It's been my go to place for when I'm craving something premium. Never any line inside or in the drive through. I fricken love it.

I forgot to empty out my French Press when I was visiting Lady Sunshine, and now it has mold in it. Definitely have to clean it out soon x.x

This isn't the first time this has happened to me >_>"

My boyfriend and I discovered mold the other day in our coffee maker since I've been making cold brew so much. At least we aren't alone in our filth!

Worst part of making tea: the hours it takes for it to get cold.

How does everyone feel about bubble tea? I like it, but I understand it grosses some people out.

Fight me.

I will have to take you tea shopping with me soon and change you're whole outlook on tea.

I like it!

But for me it's heavily associated with traveling, since I don't think they have it anywhere close to where I live. The last time I had it was in Camden in London, I think.
There are a lot of varieties of course, and I certainly haven't tried all of them. I'm fond of matcha/green tea flavour, though. And I usually go with the regular tapioca things.

I bought some jasmine tea the other day. I like it.

I'm off and on about it. I made some from scratch (ordered a bag of tapioca balls from amazon), and tried cooking them according to directions. They didn't come out anything like I was used to from the places I"d been too, and that's when I realized I had always ordered the kind with the fruit-flavored bubbles.

So I like it but only the fruity kinds, not the tapioca kind.

When I drink tea or coffee bitter, no sugar, I like them scalding hot. It distracts me from the bitterness, although I'm trying to get used to it. Cold is nice, too, but I cannot stomach either at room teperature.

There's an Asian fusion restaurant that specializes in bubble tea literally in the same building as my apartment. As you can imagine, I go there quite often. So I have a somewhat different perspective.

I've never tried the fruit-flavored kind. The place I go to has it, so I'll have to try it sometime.

Has anyone tried barley tea in here? Would totally recommend this one to coffee lovers.

Cold brew.

I tried it but I didn't love it. I only made it hot though, I'll definitely have to try it cold brew sometime.

Winnie · Aug 20th 2018, 9:08pm

Has anyone tried coffee with chickory? True confession.... when I bought it I thought it meant hickory, as in hickory syrup and that it would have a sweet taste. Sigh... haven’t tried it yet.

I tried it cold in Japan. I didn't really like the taste, but I don't drink coffee, so there might be a correlation :p

I have the cafe du monde chicory coffee at home. It's great for cafe au lait! It's quite common here in New Orleans. Would def recommend it for cafe au lait, hope you enjoy yours!

Oh yea and tbh Im not a fan of brewing it hot too as im used to making it cold. heh.

@Moriquendi lol ya that makes sense, as mugicha (barleytea) is sort of like a substitute for coffee. I had the impression where only straight black coffee drinkers would only enjoy it.

Guinea · Aug 21st 2018, 11:24am

I always drank my coffee black unless I had some type of tasty creamer, but now I can't handle caffeine worth are darn, which really sucks because coffee was my thing for so long. Oh, well. Anyone know of some decaffeinated tea/coffee that still tastes great but won't make you feel like a panic attack is coming on??
