NoJoMo Day 25 in NoJoMo 2022

Coffee or tea? How do you like it? Do you have a favorite flavor?

I grew up on tea. Large cup in the morning, another in the evening.

Regular strong milk tea, black tea, green tea, Kashmiri Pink tea and the occasional wake up juice with fine crushed cardamom, cinnamon, fennel / aniseed and a bit of salt.

Switched to coffee a couple of years back and have been experimenting with different blends, mixed and making my own concoctions by mixing different types of coffees together.

I love the aroma of fresh coffee, the flavored ones even more so.

Once I made a blend that was “grow hair on your eyeballs” strong. It was just heart exploding juice. Really helped in early days of working out. My body just wouldn’t sit still.

I like Starbucks too. Specially their Vanilla Lattes, Pumpkin Spice Lattes. They instantly wake up the basic white girl inside of me, and makes me just want to put on a sundress, sing along with Mariah Carey and dance away.

I like my regular coffee strong, blacker than blackest times infinity.

Every time I visit another country, I try to get the local teas and coffees, as much as I can carry.
Turkish Tea is by far the winner. Its simply amazing. Easy to prepare, delicious, with a calm soothing effect. It sort of glides through your veins and relaxes everything.
Unlike the Ceylon tea. Which is like your heart with 5 new gears and ramping up quickly, repeatedly.

And lastly, coffee snobs are the worst

I ran into a few of those over the years and I’ve avoided those establishments and people.
Your entire identity shouldn’t be about a beverage, that’s just sad.
