Well, I’m still hobbling around so I haven’t been out anywhere to test anything new. I have however signed up for Amazon Prime and have been getting deliveries of various teas and coffee that I don’t feel like limping over to Trader Joe’s to buy.
One of my neighbors got for a Christmas present a coffee maker that does both brewed and those pod things. I hate the pods on principle, since I personally feel that they’re likely as good for the environment and lead-painted styrofoam, but I’ve been using them. Primarily because I have found that since I an woefully out of practice, my brewed coffee is pretty terrible. So I have been using the pods. I’ve been pretty boring, sticking to Starbuck’s Pikes Place blend. I suppose at some point I will branch out; if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them.
As far as tea, I had already laid in a pretty good stock of Trader Joe’s teas, in Chai, English Breakfast and Earl Grey. I actually think I like tea even better than coffee, but the thing I’ve noticed about it is that it really stains the interior of my cups- far more than coffee. Makes me wonder what the he!! it’s doing to my teeth, but oh well.
I know that there are scents that feature coffee as a component, but I can’t think of one that I really liked that much. Suggestions? Leave them in the comments.

Just make sure you have cups that arent white inside; the dentist says tea really stains your teeth, but added his hygiene person is always available.
I've been told that about tea. I was told green tea is the worst. I was told to drink it through a straw and rinse after drinking. Still drinking it though. You'll pry my Earl Grey from my cold dead fingers...
I've considered the straw method. Even bought a nice glass one. But you have to make sure the liquid touches the front of your tongue and gets good contact all over so you don't miss out on tasting what you're drinking, right?! If you drink through a straw, doesn't most of the tasting occur in just the back of the palate? So I don't use it except for water :-/. But I hate going to the dentist, even for just cleanings. It's a quandary. ;)
