The things you learn on Hive, so Jamaicans don't drink their best produce (other than rum). That's such a stark contrast to Taiwan where they produce the best tea and are avid tea drinkers.
What made you switch? Was it just that it coffee was never a thing at home when you were a kid? Or did you learn to appreciate the beauty of your country when you grew up?

Yeah, you'd think so, huh? Not at all!
It's all about tea in Jamaica.
Jamaicans cannot live without their tea.

Drinking tea was always a punishment for me. Growing up, I'd sit and wait for my tea to cool, pour it down my bosom and change my top.
I first started with frappuccinos, then cappuccinos, then coffee with milk and sugar, then coffee with milk, and now black coffee unsweetened.
I guess I started to appreciate the taste of coffee slowly, after having it at the resorts where I worked.
I want to research to discover if they used the cloth method in Jamaica, back in the olden days, as they do in Venezuela, but maybe I haven't encountered anyone from the right parish in Jamaica to find out.
My mum approves of Cameron drinking coffee, but I can still see her thinking that there's no way I should be doing it. It's hilarious to see their reactions.
It's just like steak - my mum screams when she sees Cameron eating his steak rear. It's like she's on standby for the worst reaction. Everything is well done... no runny eggs either 😂... once the local staff went on strike because the foreign chef sent soft-boiled eggs to the staff dining room. 🙃🤣
