Nothing better symbolizes to me "East meets West" then what this picture represents. Part of my journey included a dual coffee- tea tasting. Green tea from the mountains surrounding Lijiang and coffee peaberries from the mountains of Tanzania. We have been talking coffee for 14 hours a day for 5 days straight but this was definitely one of the moments that stood out. Amazing that two beverages so distinct and varied come from this earth in the form of leaves and cherries.

Coffee and Smoking?
I just wanted to refute what I was told today that smoking actually helps distinguish the flavors of coffee and that I should smoke more so I would be better at coffee tasting. I believe the idea is to cleanse the palate before tasting not destroy it.
