A Tea Year's Resolution - Because It's Not All About Me

-


I admit that I love coffee more than any other beverage. And this is the "Coffee Lover's Blog." However, I realize that a lot of people who drink coffee also enjoy tea. I can appreciate a hot cup of chamomile or herbal tea at the end of the evening. I've even been known to enjoy a cup in the afternoon. Therefore, I resolve to drink at least one cup of tea per day this year. I take that back. I might not drink a cup of tea every day, but I will drink more tea this year. I realize that it has some amazing properties and green tea is an amazing cleanser which removes a lot of yucky stuff from our bodies. Or, so I'm told.

And, as you know, I also love books. I've noticed that more and more of my favorite novel heroines are drinking tea. In fact, I'm seeing tea everywhere - in the movies, on TV, in magazines, everywhere! I guess it was always there and I wasn't paying attention because I was too busy looking at the coffee!

So, be it resolved, that on this 4th day of January in the Year of Our Lord 2011, I will devote more blog time to tea and tea lovers because it's not all about me. It's about you.

Have a great day!

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin
