Thread: Coffee or Tea

Nice shot man!

I got my own little setup too.

I got an Aeropress, Bodum French Press, Braun Automatic Tassimo, Gaggia Colour Espresso machine, Rancillio Rocky doserless grinder.

I'd really like to get another Moka pot as well. I had one for a while but ruined it when I accidentaly did a dry run with it.

I also drink the occasional green tea as well. My sister recently brought me some supposedly expensive stuff directly from Japan.

Oolong unfortunately the good ones are expensive but well worth it. Green you can get some great ones at a descent price though.

Are you familiar with the Tie Guan Yin?

Just as I love it, good and affordable.


During my exam week, I was drinking a darjeeling oolong. Not quite a Darjeeling, not quite a oolong, but man does it have that waking punch.

I only stick with two brands. The Bi Lo Chun and Dragon's Well (think its Lung Ching, not sure, haven't bought it in a while). As expensive as the top quality of those two are...its not that bad considering 50 grams makes a whole lot of tea.

Formosa Jade Oolong Imperial my favorite! Enjoying a nice Gun powder right now a little to vegetal for me but not bad

Both. I have to have coffee in the morning. But i love a good green tea.

Tzu's sister in law's family grows tea in taiwan. So i usually come home with a few bricks every time i visit.

Coffee in the morning, at lunch time and after dinner :P

I also have the occasional green tea.

I vary from French Press to Aeropress to espresso machine.

I have a couple cups of coffee in the morning, then switch to tea in the afternoon. Mostly Japanese teas, but I occasionally drink some Yerba Mate and love a good strong cup of PG Tips.
