I'm just going to make some green tea
What are we all drinking (and anybody who mentions any gin based drink will get my eternal hatred as I'd love to sitting outside in the sun drink G&T)?

2. I love green tea
I usually drink black tea in the morning w/ my wife and iced green or white tea the rest of the day, but I got an espresso machine for next to nothing a few days ago and am making lattes, too..

5. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM espresso
I'm cutting down on the coffee I drink - but the thought of an espresso makes me want lots.

9. I love it..
I had an espresso machine for years until I met my wife; she got me hooked on tea. Now I'm hooked on both!

6. Coffee has been done already here
No way that I'd be able to post in anything even vaguely resembling the English language without some nice road-tar strength black coffee to pollute my body.

10. Oh yeah...
Here in Canada, Tim Hortons is legendary for it's turbo-charged coffee; when I lived in the US, White Castle coffee was the best (and strongest) stuff around. And it didn't pour out of the coffee pot, it slid out!

12. Most of my fellow countrymen just don't appreciate good coffee
My office only provides instant (:scared:) but I have my own filter and supply of a nice darkly roasted coffee.

13. Loads of water here too
Had coffee earlier.

I don't drink that much black tea (breaking the national stereotype), if I do I drink either Darjeeling (no milk), Ceylon or Assam (both with milk), and occasionally Earl Grey (lemon).

16. Green tea does have a unique taste
Some people I'd really expect to like it can't stand the stuff.

I don't have a sweet-tooth really, don't take sugar in drinks, never really eat sweets, only like dark chocolate - I guess that I'm just hopelessly bitter :evilgrin:

How are you doing today? We've got beautiful sunshine over here, and I've got an empty office (actually playing music from your greatest countryman (i.m.o.) among others) so all is very well over here.

19. Yes - definitely Bach
I find that his organ music is ideal to have on whilst working.

At the moment it's actually Buxtehude who was Danish but very much in the German school.

20. Right now my morning coffee
but I only get one cup of that. Later in the morning I might make some genmaicha (Japanese popcorn tea, made with toasted rice and Japanese green tea) that a friend brought back from Japan. Or I could make some Japanese sencha from Teaism, a gourmet tea restaurant chain in Washington, D.C. I also have on my desk and could drink some White Tea from the English Tea Store (I think they import Harrgates Tea under their own label) and some Jane's Garden Tea from Harney and Sons. (This tea was made in honor of an employee of Harney's and includes some fine lung ching (Dragonwell) tea and roses.

I also could choose some Darjeeling from the English Tea Store or a Formosa Oolong Tung Ting Jade Oolong Superior from Specialteas.
