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

@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
Sun Moon Lake Native Black Tea | Wang Family Tea
Taiwanese Native Black Tea （台灣山茶）, also known as Cang Ya（藏芽 ) is a rare, indigenous variety that was first discovered in the mountainous area surrounding Sun Moon Lake. This is a true heirloom variety of Taiwanese tea. Cang Ya thrives in misty shrouded mountain forests. To this day, this unique tea is still produced in small quantities and handcrafted in the traditional way.

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.
