I'm a tea drinker, but just a couple of cups a day. I've never liked the taste of coffee but I like the smell, and I don't mind coffee in cake (especially tiramisu!)
When I first started the B&B back in 2019 there was all this hooha about tea bags not composting because they were being sealed with plastic(!!), so I bought organic loose leaf English Breakfast tea from the French company Les Jardins de Gaia (because I love their teas, and the looseleaf tea came in a large, recyclable paper bag.) However, it was very expensive to get it sent to the UK, and it was fiddly for the guests to use the loose tea as it involved an infuser tea pot. I was very relieved when the company Clipper announced that they would stop using plastic to seal their tea bags. I now buy their tea bags for the guests, as they sell them in bulk, and I also support the small company Hampstead who sell organic tea bags. I provide their Indian Chai, and Rosehip & Hibiscus, on the guest beverage tray, alongside Clipper's English Breakfast, Decaf, Earl Grey, Peppermint, and Green tea. Personally, I stuck with loose leaf organic tea, instead of the bags, and I buy my tea from Steenbergs. It is their organic English Breakfast tea that guests get at breakfast. I also buy Hampstead organic loose leaf Earl Grey for myself. My special treat tea is organic looseleaf Lapsang Souchong, which I buy when I go to France as it's not sold over here very much now.
