I got real into coffee some time back. I got a grinder and a french press and also a cold brew pot thing. I have tried a wide variety but bar none starbucks cafe veranda whole bean is my favorite. either hot (rare here in SC) or cold brew. I wound up growing quite tired of the jitters and dehydration I was experiencing with coffee and recently began drinking tea. I have been getting the following brand, and have yet to try it hot, but it is great in my cold brew thing. I have tried the english breakfast and this "assam" variety. next I will try earl grey. I drink a big 30oz yeti of it in the morning, or sometimes 2. overall I prefer the tea. it tastes good and is light and doesn't give the jitters. what it does lack is that morning punch to the gut if you catch my drift. that has taken the most getting used to.
