Amen & hallelujah.
A $17 French press and some decent coffee makes for a delightful coffee break, at a whopping 25¢ or so per mug.

French pressed Guatemalan Antigua.
I think I n-n-n-need another.

Smooth and soothing. A surprisingly clear deep red liquor, notes of yeast and dried fruits pop in and out. A very filling and relaxing tea.
I have not had many shu, but this tea would be an awesome if it only had some acidity and astringency left in it.
I have a lot of samples to go through, so today I decided to pull one out and no matter what it was I would drink it, glad this one came out after all.

Currently sipping some Silver Needle White to wash down the orange garlic beef with bean sprouts,
pineapple & red peppers & just a hint of habañeros on a bed of basmati.
(Mrs. Expat, looking over my shoulder, advises that she's either going to put me on a PBS special
or have me hauled away.
)A demitasse or 5 of Kenyan gethumbwini peaberry out of the pour over swissgold. Blackberries and a zing to wake up this rainy Saturday.

A delicious blend, well-worthy of the name Mokha Java.
