Tea & Coffee: Local or western?
Re: Tea & Coffee: Local or western?
Tea: Darjeeling. Preferred blend Margaret's Hope, Second Flush. Close second, Arya Estate.
Coffee: Caffe D'arte, Alderwood Roasted, Velletri. Suitable for both espresso or drip.
I drink far too much of both.

Starbucks on Mao Tse Toung and 71. Iced soy milk Latte with Hazelnut. Need to carry my own straws though, hate those recyclable ones they use.

Re: Tea & Coffee: Local or western?
There is a very nice tea and coffee shop to the south-west of the new market, named Sin Veng Yu. Find it on google maps.cautious colin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 6:21 pmWhere can decent tea be sourced in Cambodia?IraHayes wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 5:12 pm As a life-long coffee drinker, I have moved over to drinking tea and I was wondering on the tastes/preferences of our members regarding their favorite hot beverage.
I won't be completely dropping coffee, as it will be reserved for my 1st drink of the day and the occasional latte.
So tea or coffee?
and which brand/blend?
Their "special" tea is very good. Oolong is the best, it's $35 per kilo.

Love that Mondulkiri! Bought 5 bags last year in PP. Wish I could get it in Japan.

We've almost run out. We used to get it via the other half's aunt. But they've emigrated, so that option is gone. We'll be looking for a convenient place to buy, if you could let me know?Big Daikon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 7:19 pm Love that Mondulkiri! Bought 5 bags last year in PP. Wish I could get it in Japan.

Is carrying a bamboo or steel straw really that much of a hindrance?GMJS-CEO wrote:Starbucks on Mao Tse Toung and 71. Iced soy milk Latte with Hazelnut. Need to carry my own straws though, hate those recyclable ones they use.
As mentioned, all local roasters such as Sin Veng Yu will have some. I prefer lighter roasts with brighter/more acidic notes, so usually get coffee more from Feel Good Cafe, Drink Lab, So Wat and also from Rumble Fish in Kampot.Freightdog wrote:We've almost run out.

Not a hindrance, well worth it. Just saying those recyclable ones are a bother, not firm enough.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 8:00 pmIs carrying a bamboo or steel straw really that much of a hindrance?GMJS-CEO wrote:Starbucks on Mao Tse Toung and 71.

When I lived in Daun Penh I used to get local coffee over at this place on 242 & 59 corner since it was a quick walk for me. They get quite busy but are fast to get the orders out.

Coffee:
Nescafe Red Cup, big jar of it for $6.50. Available everywhere. Boiling water, 2 x saccharine tablets and a splash of skimmed milk.
As good a caffeine delivery system as anything from any dew soaked mountain side where the monkeys frolic. My bog will attest to this.
Tea:
PG Tips, pyramid ones. Same recipe as the coffee.
Beer:
Cambodia draught. In a cold glass. None of that poncy craft beer crap.

2. That's the most expensive red cup I've seen. $4.50 in Daney shop (opposite Navy shop)
