I was sceptical about it first, but a trip to Ottawa with little sleep forced my hand. I don't regret it.I have never tried Iced-coffee, I like my stuff always Hot.
I don't know the first thing about grading coffee, but if their coffee is anything comparable to their teas, Timmies is not the place for coffee drinkers. Their brand of tea, without exaggeration, tastes like shredded cardboard. Aside from their English Breakfast, which is H&B (what every vendor has, pretty much), I can't stand their stuff.
Someone seeking sanctuary.Who r u?????Oops. Sigh, the stigma of this double post will be stuck with me for good, wont it lol?

I agree with Timmies tea, it sucks, but the step tea is not too bad, but I will never buy "tea" from Timmies, but I disagree about their coffee is not half bad,I find it better than starbucks, I will tell you where to get the best coffee though, mcdonalds, I find their coffee excellent walle

Turkish coffee is fantastic. I also like Eritrean coffee the smell of the toasted beans puts me in a good mood.Not a coffee person, but Turkish coffee is great. I hate the generic, over the counter crap. Once in a while, I brew myself some Turkish coffee usually found at ethnic food stores owned by Turks, Bosnians, Eastern Europeans, etc. Freshly ground coffee tends to be more aromatic and better tasting than the instant coffees sold at the grocery stores. As for tea, mint & ginger go really well with it. Minus the candied sugar, tea is actually good for your health, specially green tea. Because its an anti-oxidant and some even claim its great for the skin. Qaxwo Soomaali is pretty good too, with some sweet bananas.
As for qaxwa Somali, my mom makes great qaxwo Somali and like it with dates.
When it comes to tea I only drink it before I go to bed. Mint, Ginger, white or wildberry are my top choices. Rarely drink Somali tea.

Had some Kenyan this morning. Do it the original way, by boiling milk, water, tea, and sugar at once? Mmm, that'll melt the coldest winter away. I don't know if I would say it is "the best", it's really up to the individual's taste. But, Darjeeling is called the "champagne" of teas, though that's probably cause of the colour and light flavour.kenyan tea and coffee is the BEST in the world.

I like tea better but I have a couple of xabashi peeps who import ethiopian coffee beans and sell to vendors out here, and they brew/roast it themselves; its some powerful shit when you drink it without sugar, waa ku marqaamaysaa, I like coffee now.

I work with this white guy who installed one of those large sem-commercial coffee makers at his desk.
