Amy,

The choices at 7-11 are truly mind baffling! I go there often too.

Interestingly ehough, I actually did notice how many coffee houses were popping up all over Taiwan last summer! The branding of Starbucks has been pretty amazing in Taiwan. But also kind of odd that the older Taiwanese population, maybe in their 50s and 60s were drinking Starbucks purely for the brand itself and to experience the 'starbucks craze', which is absolutely fine as well. However, when I'm in Taiwan, I tend to stay away from the coffee since the selection of bottled drinks at 7-11 is something I cannot deny!

I came over from Sue@ praise and coffee...which is funny even with this post. I have never been a coffee fan! But I have been peeking at your blog and I find it a delight.

I home school my kids and I love the idea of *visiting* a place with another's eyes instead of reading from a book.

So far I have really enjoyed the posts that you have written,
I have several blogs to keep all my thoughts from congesting my mind, so feel free to visit.

penofjen.blogspot.com is my main blog and I have a caption contest every Tuesday.

So forgive me for running on, have a wonderful day!

Really enjoyed reading this post. I'm a huuuuge coffee fanatic, and am unashamedly adicted! :) Ecuador has very good coffee, though most people prefer the cheaper brands or the instant stuff. For about $4/lb I can buy the best of the best. There are many coffee shops all over the city, and coffee drinking is big here. Thanks for the info on where to go in Taiwan if we ever get over that way!

Kimmie,

Thanks for stopping by! I did find your blog to be very enjoyable to read. I love reading about what's going on with all of those kids. How do you do it??? Anyway, I don't know as much about coffee as my post would probably suggest. It's just fun to act like a coffee snob sometimes!

What a fun post! I to enjoy my coffee...though I don't think I have your expertise ;-)

Very interesting about culture and coffee-very cool to get a glimpse into coffee in Taiwan!

We have a coffee make that uses K-cups and gives you a very quick tasty cup of coffee in seconds, always fresh, always quick. My husband bought 2 one for his office and one for home....really it hasn't helped my "addiction" with a drawer full of Italian Espresso, Dark Blend, Breakfast Blend, Decaf, ....hard to say no.

Thanks for popping into my blog...I am so excited to have a new friend in Taiwan (how cool is God!)

Going to enjoy a second cup and then get our "school" (homeschool) on the road.

Tomorrow we get our 11 week old respite (babysitting a foster baby) back for 6 days...need to get tons of stuff done around here before she arrives. Friday we have a family birthday party for my 13 year old daughter....not sure what I was thinking in scheduling the party while we had "the sleepless" babe, but trusting that God will Grace me for what is needed!

blessings to you!

Amanda,

I totally forgot about 85 degree! I'm going to add my opinion about them to the post. I don't really know as much about coffee as I probably make it sound, it's just fun to act like I do!

I love coffee . . . but it is an area where I remain quite ignorant. I would love to learn more--I just need me a teacher.

Do yall have 85degree shops up that way? They are all over the place down here and are quite popular--probably more well known for their fancy little cakes than their coffee though.

I don't know how to stick my response comment underneath the comment I want to respond to, so I'll just respond to both of the above comments now (I'm such a nerd).

Sue,

You never know ... you just may want to visit the beautiful island of Taiwan one day, and then I can take you to all the good coffee shops to get your "praise and coffee" on! =)

Sandy,

I don't think you're un-American, just strange for not liking coffee. Ha, ha...just kidding! I actually like tea too, but it's not enough to get me going in the morning. I just like tasting all the different flavors of tea in Taiwan. The flavors of tea in Asia seem more subtle than the ones in the West, don't you think?

2007-09-18T12:53:00.000+08:00

I actually am rather "un-American"....maybe I always knew I'd end up in a foreign country....I dislike coffee very much - I can't even stand the taste of coffee-flavored cake or cookies, ick. But I LOVE tea - red tea, black tea, oolong tea, green tea, milk tea, you get the idea ;)

I hope you can find some good coffee sometime.

I love this info! Thanks!
I have no plans to come to Taiwan but I find it all very interesting- especially since it's about coffee!

I don't praise coffee either...I praise AND coffee!
:)
