Coffee with a rip of…
Coffee with a rip of… No, no rips. Just coffee. It’s a dark rich colour in my cup. This cup of coffee carries the odour of almond and ripe cherries. It has a bitter-sweet perfume to it. The taste is a match. It hits the taste buds as bitter, but it fades to something my… Continue reading Coffee with a rip of…

Hot and full of caffeine
A coffee called Toffee Crunch makes me think of a caramel colour, a sugary smell, and a chewy sweet taste that goes on and on. However, the coffee in front of me is none of those things. The smell is bitter and burnt and I am struggling to find anything defining about the taste. It’s… Continue reading Hot and full of caffeine

Back to coffee…
If we were having coffee, I would share with you that my run of tea has ended. This week we are back to virtual coffees. What are we sipping? You might ask. Coffee this morning is a butter pecan. The smell of it is butter with a sweet nut. It is almost black in my… Continue reading Back to coffee…

The tea of milk & sugar
Good morning, can I offer you a cup of black tea? This morning, we will be sipping David’s Tea Breakfast Blend. The loose leaf looks like a collection of black splinters with occasional reddish-brown twigs mixed in. It produces a deep reddish-brown tea. I would describe the smell as classic, a classic tea smell. And… Continue reading The tea of milk & sugar

If we were having a tea…
My tea this morning is a loose leaf of off-white, tans, oranges and brown. I hesitate to say leaf because it is a blend of tiny cubed dried fruits: apple, pineapple, papaya, cranberries and hibiscus. It has a sweet sugary smell. Steeped, the tea has no odour and is almost colourless. This Caribbean Crush tea… Continue reading If we were having a tea…

Chaga Tea anyone?
If we were sharing a hot virtual beverage this morning, I would ask you if you have ever heard of, or maybe tried, Chaga Tea? It is fungus from birch trees. On the tree it looks like charcoal. When steeped into tea, it turns the water a tawny colour. I don’t think it has much… Continue reading Chaga Tea anyone?

It’s always tea time.” – The Mad Hatter
This tea is full of surprises. A sweet cinnamony smell reaches my nose as I prep my teabag this morning. This loose leaf is pretty to look at with its varying shades of orange, tan, and light brown with occasional sprinkles of deep brown. There are no leaves in this tea. It’s apple, almond, cinnamon,… Continue reading It’s always tea time.” – The Mad Hatter
