RE: Stereotypical Myths

I don't know if I've ever actually tried Blue Mountain coffee. I think I have but it was a long time ago before I really care about good coffee. I'd like to try it again some day. May a cruise vacation will bring me to Jamaican one day.

So what type of tea do they drink in the country?

So, do you think a typical Jamaican would be your best coffee-tasting connoisseur, or would it be better to put a cup of tea to the test?

Hard question. They have high standards you say which make coffee preferable but you mentioned that most people drink tea over coffee so they may have more of a palate for tea. I'd go with tea!

Yeah, I think a cruise would be your best option, but I'm not sure how authentic it would be then.

So what type of tea do they drink in the country?

Peppermint, Cerasee tea (that's not for the faint-hearted, but excellent for a cleanse), black English tea with condensed milk and sugar, and just about any 'bush tea'.

People from rural areas, especially, have been big on 'bush teas' for years for DIY and home remedies. Then there's the Rastafarian tribe, who drink a lot of ganga tea (cannabis).

They may have more of a palate for tea. I'd go with tea!

Yes, you're right about that!😁

Bush teas sound interesting. I guess they could be anything really

I guess they could be anything really

That's right. I guess they know some amazing combinations of herbs and how to take them... but they say belief kills, and belief cures 😆

Combinations that were probably perfected over the years and passed down through the generations.

Yeah, some rich cultural traditions are still prevalent, and it's fascinating to see how modern society glamourize them, and pretend they e=invented them :)

I can state about myself that I definitely did not try it. But heard of it, ofc. ☘️
