Orange Pekoe is great, you should try some other teas. Trust me, the true tea drinkers are much more snobbish thn the coffee drinkers for what ever that is worth.

I actually have been a tea drinker off and on for years. Orange Pekoe just has the right balance of sweet and bitterness that I love. I also like peppermint tea on occasion. English Breakfast Tea is nice from time to time, but you almost have to add honey or something to get it just right...

Twining's is the tea brand that I usually keep around the house...

I need to go grab a cup of Jo now!


They just opened a Starbucks by our beech house, my GF ordered some fudgey concoction with a shot of Expresso in it! It was so yummy but it had a real long gay name I am not sure I could ever order that

I thought you European types all drank Espresso j/k. Does this hot lava java have more caffeine then espresso? Sounds like the drink for me

YES! I've tried Blue Mountain Coffee! And Yes! It is $30/bag. It's yummy though. Not really worth $30 though in my opinion.
