Pu-erh's typically a once-a-day treat for me (tho' that once-a-day is multiple infusions).
Had some '08 Bulang Arbor for breakfast (continued from last nights leaves).
A couple mugs of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe today.
And, I think, some Chinese green Pekoe now.
Insanely good double shots of Yemen Mokha Sharasi this morning. I stopped once the room started shaking from all the caffeine.
If I ever find myself in an earthquake, I'll have to quickly drink some Yemen Mokha Sharasi to counteract the effect.

India Anohki, home-roasted, hand-ground, and brewed in a Bodum French press
Springside Estate second flush Darjeeling.
Full body, a hint of astringence.

Kona Kowali Estate, roasted to Full City yesterday, brewed in a vacuum pot. Pure, malty goodness. This is the real deal, not "Kona" where a few percent is the actual stuff. Good coffee? Damn right. Worth $20 a pound green? No freakin' way.
Hand ground Indian Peaberry in a French Press. Deep rich and incredibly smooth. I love Sunday mornings.
Another cup of second flush organic Assam tea from the Sewpur Estate.

Ristretto Roasters- Bali "Blue Moon" in a Tvorm. Thanks DJ!
Brazil Jacu Bird coffee. Very nice despite the "special" processing method....
Tully's KONA Blend Island Coffee, brewed in my new Keurig Mini Personal Brewer. Awesome. Simply, succinctly, awesome.
A mug of Sumatra Mandehling to wash down raspberry pancakes.
El Salvador Orange Bourbon Cultivar, home-roasted, hand-ground, and brewed in a Bodum French press
If that's anything like the civet processed beans, I'm scared.
What's next? Ethiopian elephant coffee?
And am I alone in thinking that JBHoren has the coolest collection of coffee mugs?
You flatter me; but there's nobody else "whispering 'sweet nothings' in my ear", so I'll take it.
From 1980-2004 I worked at more hardware/software vendors than I'd care to count, and had amassed a collection of colorful and exotic coffee mugs. Then, when I returned to the US, I tossed all but two of 'em: the beehive and the Xanax mugs. So, I've begun "rebuilding"... but no FEMA-funds for me
Teaser: There's an absolutely knock-your-socks-off mug that's on its way to me in the mail. Film at eleven.
JB, Did you ever make it back to Israel? Or am I getting myself confused? Or am I asking something too personal. If so apologies.
