Bitter Reality: Most Wild Coffee Species Risk Extinction Worldwide

This probably has big pharma drooling over the idea of more caffeine pills, or more amphetamines being sold

:mad1:

Wow! Hadn't thought that far ahead - I was only thinking about a morning without coffee - totally unacceptable!!

You are probably right - perhaps their union is over there even as we type, pulling with tweezers every tiny budding wild coffee plant!

Take anything but my coffee!!!

heheh i hear ya. Usually have 3 cups in the morning, then switch to green tea.

Eventually gonna make the transition to tea fully here. Looks like it may be the only option in the future anyways.

I drink a large cup of coffee, then switch to tea, alternating green and black or occasional treats like Earl Grey. No intention of giving up coffee! That's almost blasphemy!

I've never been a Star-fucks person.

My wife is practically addicted.

They do have a drink called the Citrus Defender which is a lemonaide/tea (herbal) kind of drink.

Good stuff....

I do love good tea.

For me, coffee is best iced.

I drink coffee from my own coffeemaker - never buy it out unless having with dinner out.

I'm a tea freak, and let me tell ya, the last 5 years of Twinings of London Earl Gray has been horse poo. I found a liquidator who has 10 year old boxes and I just bought them. Yay for old tea.

Me too.

I agree about Twinings. Earl Gray isn't my favorite, though.

I even grew my own Camilla Sinensis plant, though I never did harvest much.

I live on unsweetened iced tea 5-6 months a year.

Right now I like just black tea with jinguan unsweetened. Nick pick me up in the afternoon

I like you more and more, pool.

say it isn't so? I fear the day we can't have a coffee?

Big Pharma ruins so many good things.

The loss of our coffee could be a sign of
things to come. More and more loss of good
foodstuff that won't be available to eat
or drink.

What was your first tea crush? I started at the age of about 14, when exploring old Philosophy. I grabbed a tin of Gunpowder tea and then branched to Jasmine later on.

Gunpowder tea was my first crush.
