[Coda]

My wife and I are tea FIENDS, and I drink a TON of coffee. We have a whole cabinet full of tea and coffee. My favorite tea is Earl Grey, with spiced chai coming up second, but it's rare that I find a tea that I don't like. My wife likes sweet black tea best. (You have to put the sugar in while it's still hot! If you put the sugar in after it's been iced, it's tea with sugar, not sweet tea, a very different flavor.)

I've even experimented with some of my own blends because I tend to get a lot of looseleaf (Teavana sometimes, and a small tea shop in Memphis with a huge selection others) and I've even tried making some of my own herbal tea from fresh herbs. I think my favorite so far was to take some dragon green tea from the tea shop and mix it with some lemon basil from my father-in-law's garden that I toasted and crumbled.

Coffee I'm something of a connoisseur as well. I'm quite picky about my coffee. Anything made with robusta beans is automatically out unless I'm desperate for the caffeine. (And then I'll drown it in cream and sugar.) But if the beans are of good quality and properly roasted, I love the complex flavors of coffee, especially strong, dark-roast coffee. I've been known to drink espresso as if it were normal coffee. (Why yes I do have a caffeine tolerance. I'm also ADHD so caffeine levels me out instead of making me jittery. Weird, huh?)
