This is terrifying. I can’t switch to tea. Forget it.

I lean towards Kenyan coffee myself…

I like and prefer Nicaraguan coffee, like my cigars.

I like Winco Coffee. No idea where it’s from
But it’s only $9 a full16 oz pound. Many of your 12-14$ “pounds” at the stores are not 16 oz….

The only proper place for tea is the bottom of Boston Harbor.

But I may be biased.

I’ll just stick to my Michter’s

I'll provide a counter to that. My go-to beverage, by a large margin, is unsweetened ice tea. No need to put in the effort to sink it in Boston Harbor. Just send it to me.

You can keep your coffee...I will take tea. That should get me voted off of someone's island. Guaranteed that I was the only guy in Alaska drinking iced tea in the winter.

Just the smell of tea makes me nauseous. I won't touch it in any form

I have 2 cups of Red Rose black tea in the morning, 3 bags to a cup a teaspoon of honey and I'm good to go.

No you were not the only guy in AK drinking iced tea. I love tea hot or cold!
I dislike coffee (love the smell of it brewing) but tea (green, black, orange Pu-erh, white or Chai) is
always in my cabinets.
My coffee lover friends love Columbian!

Costa Rican coffee is my preference.

On one of our trips down there we asked a cab driver to take us to a good place to buy coffee to take home… he pulled up to Wal-Mart of all places.

He was correct they had loads of premium coffee, I bought an extra suitcase, filled it to the brim and off to the airport we go.

When we moved out to a village in the Bush, I went looking for iced cube trays at the AC Commercial store. They didn't know what that was. We found an old set of plastic wrapped trays in the basement with an inch of dust on them. They gave them to me and said take it, we don't know what to charge for it.

Zimbabwe coffee is really good. It just hard to find. Maybe that will change?

I like steeping green tea in black coffee. I’m different.

Buy Colombian coffee. The lower quality coffees in Colombia will match or beat Brasilian coffees in a cupping score. Colombian specialty coffees are the best in the world. I recently had an opportunity to try specialty coffees from Costa Rica, Salvador, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Panama and Mexico. They all have great specialty coffees as well.

US coffee market and coffee shops buy what we call “pasillo” (the lowest grade coffee) for the most part. Then they haul the green coffee to the US and burn the hell out of it and call it “bold”, “intense” and other catchy marketing names.
And charge huge mark ups.

Our last harvest was the best in over 25 years. This next one will be almost as good. At the auctions, I only know of 2 US buyers. The rest were European and Australian.

If anyone is interested in purchasing coffee from our area or would like to tour a real, working coffee farm, let me know.

Safe travels and Safe hunting

Yep Nicaraguan coffee, cigars and rum are mighty tasty
Back in the day everywhere I went I bought rum and coffee to bring home ( still do ) then someone Said that I should bring back cigars also to give away at Christmas , people who like cigars told me Central Americans cigars were second only to Cuban .
I hear RSA has good rum and a type of tequila worthy of bringing back?

It’s pretty hard to find a decent cup of coffee in the US or Canada. Europe is generally slightly worse IMO.

Best coffee's I’ve ever had have been either in Australia or NZ , with very few exceptions.

I reckon the rest of the world need to train their baristas in the antipodes.

Just saying.
