In my younger days my Mom served us Lousianne New Orleans style coffee with chicory. She did it mostly to save money because you use 1/2 as much to the brew. But I loved it. I am also a fan of hot tea and often drink it at home and rendezvous. I have around 35 or 40 different types of tea, Lapsang Souchonge, English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Dargeeling, ect. I am also a cigar afficianado with many different. Brands of sticks. I rotate the teas and cigars and enjoy an almost limitless variety of taste combinations. Life is good.
