People who really like coffee: when you find decaf beans you like, it’s like finding a cheat code to drinking coffee all day and all night
-
@SnoopJ this looks like a good local option
I like herbal teas in the evenings as well

@dicenbuttons the Ahmad Tea decaf earl grey is surprisingly good!

@skinnylatte That frightens me. I drink it with an ass ton of sweet creamer because the test of plain coffee makes me gag... Personal preference. Everyone's taste-buds work differently.

@ShredderFeeder I get really good coffee beans though and am very invested in grinding and brewing in a way that suits my preferences.
There is a lot of ass coffee out there
-
@skinnylatte omg you used your foodie powers to look up something local to me Adrianna that is so sweet 🥺 Thank you!
I haven't yet taken advantage of the various loose-leaf tea I can find in Chinatown or elsewhere, but I found a (barely) spiced chai that I've become fond of. It's no legit masala chai, but it beats english breakfast for sure
-
@skinnylatte this definitely looks like "I should probably own a burr grinder" coffee, though. I confess that I usually buy pre-ground and tank the flavor difference
-
@SnoopJ grinding your own, even if just in a regular blade grinder (spice grinder type) is better than pre-ground. But if you’re looking for something small to start with the timemore c2 is pretty good.
For tea: I like this shop, they ship from CA and will be a touch nicer than most Chinatowns

Their roasted oolongs are also v good
-
@skinnylatte yea, even using my blade grinder I do notice the difference. I'm just a bit lazy about it

@SnoopJ or the timemore grinder go which is electric

I've been off caffeine for about a month now, and literally just remembered that decaf coffee was a thing last weekend.
-
@knapjack @skinnylatte Is it really though?

Agreed! That’s my current brand of decaf earl grey actually.
