Agree.

Also, I once had a beverage made from brewed, roasted cocoa beans, called "choffee." It was pretty amazing.

Just finished a cup delicious to the taste and definitely not evil.

Still amazing how lovely something so despised in the past, can taste.

For those who don’t get it, have faith, the conviction will come.

If you mean is coffee good for you?

I dunno. Never paid it much attention

If you mean is coffee sin?
If you promised not to and you hold that promise as valid, then I'd say yes because you are not keeping your word, otherwise no.

Interesting aside, have noticed a number of tbms do not appear to have an issue with chai. Not to my face anyway. Privately they possibly see it as a gateway drug.

I suspect that many of them do not know what it is.

Usually called a chai latte. Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg mixed with black tea and a liberal helping of sugar. I usually go half milk and half hot water. Rather delicious and most calming.

Chai is a word for tea in numerous languages, derived from Mandarin Chinese chá. Masala chai is a blend of black tea and herbs and spices, originating in India. CHAI-FM is Canadian radio station. Chai is also the Hebrew letter symbol meaning life.

There was no mention of the word chai in the Illustrated History of the Heaven War: who or what was valiant and not valiant, published by Deseret Book of Salt Lake City, Utah.

I hope so but October 28th is too far away....... better to pay tribute to St Patrick next week end.

Since my ancestry is Scottish and not Irish I will have a Monte Cristo in place of Irish coffee.

I drink green chai. Green tea with spices, but I don't latte it. Why ruin it? OK, I drink the black kind too, only I drink that black. But don't put it in your water bottles because the spice soaks into the plastic and you smell it long after the bottle has been washed.

I know a TBM who has brewed this "choffee". Didn't know that was what it was called. Maybe if I'm super nice to her I could try some.

I wonder if a TBM could appreciate a cup of coffee if you stirred in one of those packets of hot chocolate with marshmallows and neglected to tell them exactly what it was. Maybe even make it into a festive Mormon brunch by having a plate of cookies together with red and green Jell-O squares.
