Coffee in the AM. Blue Mountain blend with a smidge of creamer. Two cups of coffee in the morning, one in the afternoon. I also make a pot of Typhoo Tea for hubby.

Mom was British. When I was a kid family sent us loose tea because you couldn’t get decent tea in the US.

So, afternoon tea is something different - usually Earl Grey, but we have an embarrassment of riches in the tea category. I love Jasmine tea and green tea, hubby not so much. Hot black tea is sweetened with honey and lemon, green and Jasmine needs nothing.

Outside the house, ice tea, unsweetened and lemon. And I remember the places that make good ice tea, not that instant xrap. I agree that you can rarely get good hot tea in public, and they don’t really understand keeping the water hot. The places that do that well, get my repeat business.

Grew up with black sulfur water, I still don’t like drinking water.

I have some Typhoo tea. Last year I purchased some Rooibus tea. It is from South Africa and is a different non caffinated alternative.
