QotD: The Best Blend
What's your favorite blend or brand of coffee or tea?
I like French roasts, Italian roasts, bold roasts from Starbucks. I think one of my favorites they brew is a komodo dragon blend of something. I'm one of those bastards you can't pass a shitty blend of coffee on. People have tried and witnessed my coffee wince. It isn't pretty and can't be helped. My sister and brother-in-law, after years of serving me folgers or whatever she could get a large tin of for $1.99 finally gave in and give Starbucks a shot. They've never gone back. At least all the way back. It's not exclusively a Starbucks thing as it is a quality thing.
Trust me, my coffee affliction is so deep rooted that if all that there is to suck down is some envelope glue flavored blend swept from the filthy floor trafficked by filthy vermin (or possibly even remnants of coffee excreted by them) of the fear factor variety, I'll drink it and wince proudly.
Tea: I like Earl Grey, Rooibos blends, green tea, and a few other blends that don't make my stomach feel sick.
