Karen K. Member of NYC Coffee &Tea Oasis
Introduction
In addition to my being an enthusiast about both coffee and tea, the description of this group makes me think of accounts of artistic and intellectual types sitting in Paris and Village cafes conversing for hours on end--minus the cigarette smoke...
How long does a typical visit to a coffee/tea house last for you?
--usually not more than an hour if I'm alone. When with others, the conversation can keep us sitting there for a while...
Besides the actual consumption of your perferred beverage, What's your favorite thing to do while at a coffee/tea house?
I'll read one of my books of the moment, re-read things for classes I teach that have become progressively less appealing (the reading, not the classes), and put comments on student papers, which can be easier out of the house and while taking sips.
Is your coff/tea drinking a brief respite from the big city?
Actually, it's part of my love for said city, which I rarely feel I need a respite from (with the possible exception of this past week or two, when I've been negotiating the freezing temperatures and a sinus infection--ugh).
How often do you go to coffee/tea houses?
It's really hard to say, although I think I went more before so many places had closed or been replaced by a Starbucks (not that I don't go to those, but I try not to make it too much of a habit).
Do you socialize in coffee/tea houses?
--not as much as I'd like: as I've indicated above, I'm sometimes there on a deadline, and when I'm not, people often seem glued to their laptops and cell phones. A friend and I were once part of a tea group briefly, but the leader disappeared...
