Coffee...
Pods, light or medium roast, love flavored coffee (favorites include turtle, Mississippi mud, and butter toffee), I like syrups but don‘t use them a whole lot

Tea...
Both, both, sugar cookie sleigh ride, chai, black tea with mango, not the hugest green tea fan

Coffee:
Whole bean
I used to do dark roast but lately I prefer light
No.
No.

Tea:
Loose leaf
Both (decaf in the evening)
I like the calming teas - chamomile, mint. Mother‘s Little Helper from David‘s Tea is amazing.
I don‘t like coconut at all and I don‘t like chocolate in my tea.

LazyDays How fun is this your questionnaire?😊 6y
Thndrstd @LazyDays it is not. I got it from @vkois88 6y

#30DaysofReadathon Countdown: #Drinks
I'm predominantly a coffee drinker, but if I stick to coffee the entire #readathon I'll be too jittery to read. It's important to both drink copious amounts of water, and to space out the coffee with cups of tea. I have black tea and green tea, and various herbal infusions. (Ok, in evening I might have a 🍷and then wake myself up again with coffee. 😁)

LazyOwl I see some Pukka tea there, love Pukka brand teas 7y
Leniverse @LazyOwl Yes! Ironically, in Norway I bought herbal and fruit teas from something called "The English Tea Company". They can't really be English, because I haven't found them anywhere in the UK. Fortunately there is Pukka! 7y
julesG Pukka! Twinings! Looks like part of my tea cupboard. I could throw some Higher Living and Clipper tea into the mix, too. Why do I always love the teas that are hard to get in Germany? (Still trying to find me some Clipper Skinny Vanilly here.) 7y

Leniverse @julesG I have heard of Clipper, but not Higher Living. But the best black tea ever is the house blend from The Muffin Man in London. I need to find out if they ship, at least within the UK, as I am so seldom in London. 7y
Leniverse @julesG Actually, Clipper does an absolutely drinkable decaf instant coffee. Which is remarkable because I don't really consider instant to be coffee, and decaf is just wrong. 😂 But I like the one from Clipper. Clearly I should try their tea too! 7y
julesG Clipper and Higher Living have a large range of herbal and fruit teas. Instant coffee definitely isn't coffee, I'm right there with you. I'd much rather have a French press and some ground beans sitting on a shelf than having a jar of instant coffee 7y
Leniverse @julesG Doh! Realised today that I do have Clipper tea. Can even see it in the photo. Lemon tea. 😂 7y
julesG @Leniverse Duh!² I didn't notice it either. 7y

I am in desperate need of a weekend where I can just curl up, read, drink tea, and snuggle my dog.
