Diva, can I give a gorgeous coffee tip? It's a specialist coffee, so you would need to find a coffee/tea specialist like Whittards.
Ask for Kenyan Peaberry. It's not ultra strong, more mid range, it smells and tastes delicious. Get them to grind it for cafetiere, or as the Americans refer to it: French Press.

Oh thanks for the tip honey to be honest I have been put off a lot of Kenyan coffee as I fine them bitter and go Columbian as its got a lovely nutty flavor. We do have a coffee emporium in Liverpool will give them a try.

Can't have dark rich collumbian at the mo.
Mmm speacial coffe just add the finest irish wiskey and cream.

Herbal tea makes you pee.
And there's a fine line between stewed to buggery and slightly flavoured water.

Diets suck !

Today I bought some ground coffee from Java, so far it's the best I have found. I do like Costa Rican as well.

I had to buy an espresso machine for the office the other week as I wasn't getting enough caffeine and buying a coffee from the canteen each day was starting to add up.

Yogi tea is my favourite thing in the world!! It's brilliant and tastes like cinnamon... don't drink too much though a small pot should be enough for the day otherwise you get bored of it.

I drink green tea like it's water. My mother has been a long-term drinker of Pu'er tea which has recently came under the media's attention as it can apparently burn 100 calories with every mug. (It completely solved the mystery why my mother is still slender after three children, which baffled me completely)

But go out and try loads of tea!! that's what makes tea so enjoyable at times. For me, trying different tea leaves is extremely exciting and a tea party would have me jumping up and down on my bed.

I once tried a £50 per pound of jasmine tea and that was divine. Due to my oriental heritage I am inclined to say herbal and fruit tea is the way to go. But I understand every tea lovers feeling to a warm cup of tea; builders tea or not.

I forgot to mention that Pu'er tea is VERY VERY expensive. I heard that Madonna pays over £100 for a pound worth of it. But if you go to your local chinese supermarket, they sell them in convenient tea bags as well as loose for a cheaper price.
Meanwhile I'll try search for some in my mother's house for everyone to try at Ruby's slumber party ^_^
