I drink either Gevalia or Löfbergs over here. Both are really nice. In Ireland the coffees are actually very different.
I've heard of Gevalia but not the other one. If there was a kind of coffee I'd like to give a try it's Kona coffee. :mrgreen:
I still love tea as much as ever, but I love coffee too.

I've never been a fan of tea, but I think it tastes good when you add a bit of milk. I don't know if that's very common, but I should thank my sister for that. Without that advice I would have never drunk tea for the rest of my life :lol:

Milk is such a mixed bag. There are people who like it and people who hate. But then I wonder how haters feel about Taiwanese milk tea??

Milk in tea is considered standard in this part of the world. Drinking black tea is almost considered a form of self-punishment :P

I don't mind drinking any kind of tea as long as I like the flavor. My preferred fruit flavor seems to be apple though. :P

I drink black tea and add a tiny amount of milk too. Always how we had it in Ireland, and British people do the same usually.

It makes sense she learned that in Ireland... She's desperate to go there again, I guess you guys make some really good teas there :lol:

It's said that the "blends" we enjoy here are the "sweepings off the floor" from the "real" tea packagers :lol:

I've been getting into drinking tea as of this year thanks to a friend, though all I've been able to have are pod samplers my folks (rarely) buy from the store or online. Out of the stuff I've tried/ruined I liked herbal tea and white tea. I might like hibiscus tea too, if I could just figure out how to make them drinkable and not destroy them. I tried to drink them plain but really should figure out what to mix into them. I think honey did some good once...

They're by different companies, in general I liked Constellation's Peppermint tea and Lemon Burst tea, and Prospect's Peppermint Heights and Graffiti Burst.

I'm actually out of tea pods atm, but we have all these leftover pods that aren't really interesting enough flavors for me. And a ton of coffee pods for the folks. I could probably try and drink the tea we have left but it'd be pretty boring to whittle down the stock.

It's funny how some people are trying all these different teas, whereas most people in this country stick with either Lyons or Barry's, and look at you as if you've two heads if you even suggest that a Barry's drinker try Lyons, or vice versa :lol:

Speaking of coffee or tea, I think I’m gonna go grab a latte with a shot of espresso if I want a chance to finish this thing. :hap:

I got a soy milk latte with a good amount of sugar. I'm telling you, Jade, it's hitting different. :lol: You HAVE to get yourself some coffee right now. I feel fully rested!

are you often hyper IRL? I notice the more energetic a person can be, the more counteractive caffeine is!

Also, if you're addicted to caffeine, it doesn't even work anymore. Source: trust me.

Still coffee by a long stretch, but in the past few months I'm getting used to drinking more decaff coffee as I'm having to cut down on caffeine because I'm currently suffering from a TMJ disorder. :lol: I still have like one full caff a day and if I feel like I deserve it at the weekend I'd have one more, but I've been fine with just having the ALDI own brand barista style Americano coffee for all other times.
