Ahhhhhhh. First cup is always the best. And it's my own blend.

First it was the WOW and then the Tanners led me to the truth. What a relief that someone had done the work to show us the way regarding things we always knew were suspicious.

A personal blend. You must have really missed out on coffee all that time, I'm impressed ;-)...
Indeed not drinking coffee would be my first suspicion, something just ain't right about that.
