Shadow Play Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 2 hours ago, The Master said: Coffee during the day then tea in the evening. Except if I have or recently had a cold or any other kind of respiratory issue. Without fail, coffee tastes horrible when my senses are shot to hell. Same happens to me. Coffee tasting funny is one of the the first signs I’m going down with a cold or flu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked in a cafe mainlining espresso (and eroding any profits they made) I could have an double espresso at night right before bed and still sleep soundly. Can't anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotfree Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 About an hour and a half from where I live, there is a place that grows coffee beans. They make the best coffee I've ever tasted. Was only there last week and bought a 1 kg bag. I've nearly finished the bag. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 1 hour ago, CarrbridgeSaintee said: Ginger tea is actually not bad. Although it gave me the shichts once Is that ginger flavoured tea or a ginger infusion? Hard to see how that could give you the shits eitger way. Suspect poor personal hygiene. Wash your hands after going for a jobby would be my advice. I love a spicy infusion but would never be so vulgar as to refer to one as a "tea". Currently have two types of turmeric, Lemon & ginger and Nettle & fennel as options. I don't mind a fragranced tea myself but i don't think the purists would approve. Only have Earl grey and Jasmine green on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell an assam from a lapsang souchon and have no idea of the optimum brewing time for all the different colours. Plus i quite like tetley. I do like a variety of flavours in my life though. And since i stopped drinking i'll have a lemon and ginger after dinner instead of a large leffe blonde and a quadruple talisker. Mmmm..... Alcohol.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago the wife and I did the Talisker tour, bought a bottle then walked down to The Bay for a dram. Great times. Wasn’t brave enough to try a quadruple though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
