What is your favorite tea or coffee?

Sleepy time

@DCuddlerKing earl grey is definitely yummy. I especially love it as a London fog tea latte drink.
@SensitiveHippy i see a mod here is from the UK as well like you are. I definitely love early great with steamed milk. Although, I love my pumps of vanilla on it. I have not tried Darjeeling before and curious about the taste.

@JSuntoast that is so cool that you prepared beverages as well. What was your favorite drink to make and what kind of perks did you get working with your friend’s cafe? I remembered that I used to make crazy customized drinks for my clients back in the day haha. Seems like a universal thing for people crafting beverages for a living.

Barry's Gold with (oat)milk and a bit of stevia. Fell in love with Barry's when I did my year abroad in Ireland.

I also love a good London Fog or Paris Fog latte.

I hate coffee, but love almost all teas and usually have a collection of 20+ options at any given time 😅 I was that weird kid in elementary school who never grew out of tea parties with actual tea. In high school I started going to high teas at local shops. I've tried my hand at blending my own herbals, too.

Chai or Thai tea 😋

HEB's Cafe Olé Texas Pecan. I mix with a chocolate nutrition drink for breakfast on-the-go.

I'm not a tea drinker but I did go to a tea house Saturday to support a coworker who had a table at a small market sale and had an iced oolong that was pretty nice.

My favorite is the latte that @trnguy makes me every time I go to his place 🔥🔥🔥

@CuddleBarista1 Haha honestly my favorite one to make was this drink we had called Milky Way. It had chocolate swirled down the inside of the cup before pouring everything in so it actually looked like one. People's faces when they saw it coming was always worth it even if it got messy sometimes lol. Perks were pretty solid too, free drinks and just the whole vibe of working somewhere you actually enjoyed, getting to try and make drinks that aren't even on the menu, which I'm sure you're familiar with!

Yorkshire Tea

I love a good espresso, anybody else?

@JSuntoast milkyway? That sounds so cool and I love drinking chocolate. I wish I could see a picture of the milk way drink and it sounds so cute.

That sounds amazing that you had free drinks. I also had free drinks and one free food item. On top of that, free mark-out items like bean bags to take home. I miss having the free food and drinks haha. It saved me some money to buy food.

None of those options lol
When I drink tea, I drink TEA! Blue Lotus is my go to. The vivid dreams get extra vivid 🤣🤣 and I sleep like a baby…

I like berry teas from Germany

What do they call the one with black tea with honey, nutmeg, frothed milk, and cloves, etc?

chai latte.

Any Brand Of Coffee That's Vanilla Flavored

London fog. Hot or cold. It doesn’t matter.

Gravitea is my go to. I just can't put it down.

Chai, Peach Mango Green Tea and Hibiscus.

My favorite is currently a stout truffle cold brew concentrate. I would love to know the blend of beans this roastery uses but they won't divulge that secret. But it's so freaking good. At the perfect ratio, it tastes like a buttery Guinness.

I love so many, but I put peppermint because any time I see peppermint flavors that's what I go for. I don't like cold weather but winter is great for all the peppermint treats 😋

I love a good Vietnamese coffee. It’s pure rocket fuel. I want to feel like I can bounce off the walls. 🚀🚀

My go to is a medium roast Ethiopian coffee in the morning because the fruity notes hit without any sugar, and then a strong Assam with milk in the late afternoon when I want something gentler on the stomach. What I noticed over the years is that the same drink can feel completely different depending on when you have it, so timing matters as much as the leaf or bean itself, and if it helps this page breaks down how tea and coffee compare on caffeine and antioxidants without pushing one over the other. I used to think coffee was the only real pick me up, but a properly brewed cup of tea gives a steadier lift that does not leave me crashing two hours later. The ritual of steeping loose leaves also forces me to slow down for five minutes, which is its own kind of medicine. If you have never tried a single origin Assam without sugar, it is worth one cup.

@Kuneho I had a Vietnamese coffee In East London, It was pretty good!!

I've been loving making Italian egg coffee lately! So creamy and delicious.

These days my daily driver is black coffee. Occasionally I’ll have a Vietnamese coffee which most places use Cafe Du Monde. Truth be told, I enjoy it all from the fantastic Ethiopian and Yemeni beans to a humble “regulah cawfee” in the blue bodega cup here in NY

I’m not much on tea, but just regular hot tea for me. Never did drink coffee, I’ll tell you why.
My parents made WV coffee, they took the
tray out of this style coffee pot and threw it away then put in the coffee and boil it on the stove untill it pushed the lid up and poured down the sides onto the stove, that meant it was done, lol 😝. I watched that as a kid and thought how terrible it must have tasted.
That is why to this day I won’t drink coffee.

@cynthiaa Thank you so much for sharing an article with us and it was very informative. ☺️ Thank you all for sharing favorite teas/coffees with the community.

For coffee, I really love Yemeni beans. It has a very refreshing taste, something that hits those hidden taste buds on the back of your tongue.

Also an interesting tidbit: the word "Mocha" comes from the Yemeni port city of Al-Mokha!

I’ll second @Kuneho with Vietnamese coffee. A friend recently introduced me to it and I love the taste.

But for me it calms me down and makes me feel sleepy due to my particular flavor of adhd.
