This started as a blog about coffee, and then I included tea. As time went by my intolerance for caffeine grew to the point where I could no longer drink either coffee or tea, so now I am exploring other hot drinks such as herb teas and hot chocolate.

Caffe Aloia
Old fashioned Italian coffee brought back from Rome by my wife. The company was founded in Naples in 1934, and makes cheap blended coffee to suit old fashioned tastes. The coffee appears to be cheap Brazilian and Indian coffee bunches ripped whole from the tree as that's the cheapest method, rather than hand picking the mature berries. Some beans will be ripe, some over-ripe, and some not ready. All are mixed together creating a robust, harsh and bitter coffee. Not good. It's probably an acquired taste for those who had little other choice. I can't see them gaining many new loyal customers.
