My favorite tea is peppermint. I also like fruity teas like Raspberry and Strawberry. As far as coffee goes I'm a plain old coffee gal.

I like tea, just plain old tea.. not a big fan of herbal tea...

I can only have herbal - am sensitive/allergic to caffiene.

That sucks, so many things have it in too.

At least you don't have to "break the habit" though!

Sometimes I wonder, if they stopped shipping coffee into the US if our country could function.

I know everyone but me at the office would be ready to rip each other's heads off.

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"

Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."

Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"

<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>

Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"

Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"

Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

<back to interview>

Me: "Yes, yes I do."

I love Ceylon or English Breakfast type teas. I love Chai Latte but not the premade mixes as they are sweetened and I can't use them (too much sugar). I brew the Chai Latte tea bags in milk heating on the stove - yum! I like a mild or medium Columbian bean coffee or Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee.

Eh, I've done my caffeine binges when I was growing up, but the heart palpitations from drinking coke/coffee was enough to make me stop. :P

Montreal: BEAT!!! Approved!!!!!

I like tea and coffee -- I'm really not fussed at all on flavours, either. I am pretty open-minded :)

I don't really drink coffee or tea. If I had to pick, I'd pick tea.

I do love candy though :blush:

Oh, I wrote books too...I currently would like to read The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks, or Dear John (preferably the original cover, not the movie cover. I'm really picky like that.) But I love LOVE stories, and mystery...no classical literature thank you! Oh, and I LOVE manga. <3

I said I like books so here's some more detail for whoever got me! :) I really like reading biographies and books about traveling. I am a fan of fiction but I don't do well with suspense/horror/etc. I don't like chick-lit. I'm not sure if this helps, haha -- but hopefully it gives you something to work with!

I am mailing my Secret Santa gift tomorrow! Yay! :)

I put books as well - actually almost anything but probably best not to try and choose fiction for me (if you have my name). I find books with unusual facts or trivia really interesting, humour, photographic books about different parts of the country, science, health, cookbooks. local interest, history (not political or military), crafts, cats or horses or books like that are always enjoyable.
