Tea and Coffee

What do I like most about tea and coffee? I can’t really describe. The texture, the color, the scent, the taste…all is blending in one cup providing addictive sensation. I love tea and coffee. I won’t skip my day without these two essential beverages that I must consume each day.

I usually drink a big cup of tea in the morning (yeah…a big cup!), mostly jasmine tea bag with 2 table spoon of sugar. Something is missing when I don’t drink tea in the morning. When I was still living with my parents in Kalimantan, my mother used to make us tea in the morning and in the afternoon; I enjoyed her treat a lot. Nothing can beat my mom’s tea! She made the best tea ever. When I feel a bit under weather, I usually make a cup of tea and it makes me feel better and sleep well, the next thing I know… I wake up feeling lighter and easier! That’s the magic of a cup of tea for me! Sometimes I add creamer, lime or milk into it, but most of the time I like it plain. I like bubble tea too, what a great invention to mix tea with these cute eatable bubbles! Thanks to the inventor! My favorite is milk red bubble tea, yum… Unfortunately, these last couple of months every time I order it… it always sold out! I can’t hardly remember when the last time I had my milk red bubble tea was!

Now, let's talk about coffee…the little black beans! I have my own recipe to make a nice cup of coffee. 1 table spoon of coffee, 2 table spoon of creamer, 2 table spoon of sugar…and voila….a nice hot creamy coffee is ready! When I go to the coffee shop, I usually order espresso, ice coffee, cappuccino, and cafe latté. But those coffee shops are selling their coffee way too expensive! I don’t want to spend too much money for a cup of coffee while I can make it at home. Basically, I like coffee with creamer. It tastes lighter than just black coffee. Once I tried Vietnamese coffee and it’s so bitter and strong! I’m wondering the taste of Kopi Luwak, the most expensive and rare coffee in the world that is proudly to say... originally from Indonesia!

My routine during working days is drinking tea in the morning, coffee before lunch, coffee again around 4 in the afternoon and sometimes tea in the evening while I’m watching movies or TV.
I don’t do the same routine everyday of course. Too much sugar is not good! But coffee or tea without sugar is tasteless! At least add one table spoon of sugar to make it tastier. One more thing... even when I drink coffee in the evening, I still can sleep early...hehehe...

Mmmmm....I think it's time for me to make a cup of coffee :)
