People who really like coffee: when you find decaf beans you like, it’s like finding a cheat code to drinking coffee all day and all night
@skinnylatte I haven't been brave enough to explore that space, but I suppose I really should have a go. I started drinking tea recently in part just so that I could have a hot cup of something at night
@SnoopJ this looks like a good local option
I like herbal teas in the evenings as well

@skinnylatte omg you used your foodie powers to look up something local to me Adrianna that is so sweet 
Thank you!
I haven't yet taken advantage of the various loose-leaf tea I can find in Chinatown or elsewhere, but I found a (barely) spiced chai that I've become fond of. It's no legit masala chai, but it beats english breakfast for sure
@skinnylatte this definitely looks like "I should probably own a burr grinder" coffee, though. I confess that I usually buy pre-ground and tank the flavor difference
@SnoopJ grinding your own, even if just in a regular blade grinder (spice grinder type) is better than pre-ground. But if you’re looking for something small to start with the timemore c2 is pretty good.
For tea: I like this shop, they ship from CA and will be a touch nicer than most Chinatowns

Their roasted oolongs are also v good
@skinnylatte yea, even using my blade grinder I do notice the difference. I'm just a bit lazy about it :)
@SnoopJ or the timemore grinder go which is electric
@skinnylatte @SnoopJ I love our timemore grinder, it was a good pick up. Not just because it works well, but because it's so satisfyingly dense, it feels indestructible.
For me, even decaf coffee, hot cocoa, and herbal teas are (except for chamomile) too stimulating to drink close to bedtime.
