Fancy a Brew?

Big ups to Paula who tagged me here in the coffee quiz. I hate coffee and everything it stands for – you can read the history of me vs coffee and a rant on the subject here – and I am English so I am going to answer all the questions as tea.

 

1) How many cups of coffee tea per day? About half a dozen

2) What is your favourite caffeine delivery system? Tea! I hate Coke and cola-flavoured products… but I won’t go down that road now.

3) What was your best cup of coffee tea? Not tea in the strictest sense, but on holiday in Peru I drank coca tea (ie coca leaves in hot water) in Cusco to fend off altitude sickness. Not only did it taste like a quality green tea, but it gave me an energy buzz combined with a floaty feeling not unlike being stoned, but cleaner. You don’t get that from PG Tips.

4) What was your worst cup of coffee tea? Aside from any cup of tea from a machine ever, my sister’s husband makes the worst tea. Bag taken out too soon combined with a ratio of milk to tea of about 1:1 makes his tea a mug of cold, weak, light brown liquid.

5) What does your favourite mug say? I have dozens of mugs, and I love them all. I’ve picked a few favourites from from the cupboard:

The Queen Mum mug at work is special to me as it’s the one I make drinks in with GAW, but if I had to choose one from the burning embers of my flat it would be my spotty mug.

6) How do you take your coffee tea? If it’s standard builders brew, thenwhite no sugar. Any proper tea, black with the bag left in. The way the makers intended.

7) When was your first cup? I really have no idea, I must have been 7 or 8 maybe.

8) Have you ever gone on a coffee tea date? Not as such. I’ve met GBM for a tea/coffee a few times and loved spending time with her, and I have shared a transatlantic cuppa with CC a few times.

 

And now I get to pay it forward. Although this isn’t a coffee/tea morning, the fact that Paula brought it up as such means I’m going to pretend it is. So let’s bring all the Relayers together: CC, Ted, Delilah, Dawn and Hasty; and I’m going to ask L and Renee along too.
