Seeing as though it was international coffee day yesterday, I tried a few different free Costas.
I'm not impressed and shall be sticking to my Yorkshire tea.
What's your favourite tea or coffee and why?

I need two large mugs of coffee in the morning. Have settled on Nescafe Gold atm, two heaped teaspoons and a touch of milk. (Gave up sugar 21 months ago, felt like I wanted to be an axe murderer for at least six months before it finally tasted acceptable.) I occasionally have something mid-morning, either a good quality jasmine tea brewed in a teapot or a decent plunger coffee, currently liking a dark roast ground grown and made in Nan province.
Real coffee with a pinch of cream [no sugar].
Decent Chinese tea [Taiwan/Southern China].
Nescafe Red Cup is the only coffee I drink, Earl or some herbal tea weekend afternoons if not in the doghouse otherwise none of the above.
Tea drinker here, just that crappy Lipton stuff usually.
Never been much into the coffee as it used to trigger migraines when I was younger. All good now but just don't have the taste.
PG tips, drinking one in the office right now as I wake up.
This cup of tea has a huge carbon footprint unfortunately. A mate bought the box of PG tips in the UK and brought it out to a boat in the North Sea for me a few months ago, and I took it back home to Thailand.
When this office work came up I brought it back from Thailand to Norway to keep in the office. They only have Liptons here and I can't abide it!
Sainsburys dark roast is a real heartstarter. Brought over 5 bags which is good as the price of coffee in Jomtien is so expensive.
This surprises me as if the Vietnamese can make their own coffee why can't the Thais ?

A love hater
You think Jomtien is representative of Thailand?
There's plenty of decent, fairly priced coffee grown in Thailand.
Usually drink a coffee with brekkie in the morning. Mostly the Suzuki stuff in the green packet.
Otherwise it's Thai or Chinese loose-leaf green tea. Have gotten a taste for this over the years, great for cholesterol, blood pressure etc.
Indeed. I am limited to one cup a day (docs orders) and I have a cup of Duang Dee Hill tribe coffee.
Quite a nice way to start the day:
Duang Dee Hill Tribe Coffee from Chiang Mai Thailand
Also taken black, no sugar (again sugar and milk out on docs orders). Used to take it while and sweet - took a couple of weeks to get used to it.
I used to work with an Indonesian guy who rented land near Bandung that he had made into a coffee plantation. The coffee beans were eaten and passed through some kind of a civet cat (?) before he collected them. He raved about this coffee and made a lot of money selling it. He brought some on the boat and I tried it but couldn't really see what all the fuss was about to be honest.
For coffee, first choice is a good coffee from a coffee shop. Second choice is coffee from a 7/11 - AllCafe. Third choice is Nescafe instant coffee.
For tea, in Thailand, I drink Lipton Yellow Label tea.
Two double espresso in the morning gets me going. This month the beans are dark roast from Columbia and smooth enough not to require sugar. I use a moka pot in Thailand and stick to Lavazza crema e gusto.
Cold climates I drink Tetley in the morning and Earl Grey in the afternoon. Hot climates I drink green tea, my favourite is an Oolong and ginseng from Taiwan.
Homemade latte first thing in the morning, no sugar.
Tea during the day.
Nescafe gold in the morning, two cups needed. Another coffee after lunch, school has a coffee shop that will deliver to my desk. Then I mostly stick to tea.
Stuff all of your grinding and roasting malarky.
Yorkshire tea, 2 sugars and a dash of milk.
Bonus points for a few chocolate hobnobs on the side.
