I really am becoming addicted to that first cup of coffee in the morning. I'm not sure who I blame more -- [livejournal.com profile] agamisu, or that restaurant owner in Florence who refused to let me have tea, and instead served me my first cup of exquisitely-made cappuccino. Or possibly some recent ancestor, who also gave me my taste for fermented goat milk and other reportedly disgusting things. Currently drinking fresh-ground Jamaican Blue Mountain, and feeling decidedly decadent.

The reason for the coffee is that I'm in the middle of another rush line-edit (their failure to plan/make deadline is apparently making my livelihood). The author is award-winning and multiply published. The plot is not impressing me, mainly because part of my brain is going "but that's silly" as I work my way through it. But one reader's silly is another reader's fascinating, so....

You don't need to bring tea with you. Just find a FranPrix or similar grocery store. They'll have tea. My hostess had a lovely jasmine green tea, as well as an herbal after-dinner tea.
