If you are an afficionado of Tea or Coffee, then here’s a great Web-site for you to visit.

The Epicure Exchange or Epex for short, is classified as a " virtual community “ where people from around the World can exchange views, unique detailed and well informed knowledge and information about all aspects of Coffee and Tea.

Their mission in life is , "to educate and inform the end-consumer about issues related to gourmet Teas and Coffee " and to provide expert knowledge on issues related to Coffee and Tea products and their preparation, highlighting different consumer trends in different markets on a Global basis.

On visiting this extremely well produced and easy to navigate Web-site, you can obtain useful and well informed information about Coffee and Tea, such as the history and culture of these ‘age old drinks’ , industry profiles, product information, and for the ‘professionals’ amongst you there is also very useful data about modern day product trends in the worldwide Coffee and Tea economy.

The site is neatly divided up into category sections for you to explore.

You can go on the ‘ Journey ’ where you can discover the ‘Art of Cappuccino’ in Bologna or visit Tokyo where you can learn all about the local ‘Cafe Culture’ or even take a wee trip to sunny Hawaii where you can escape for a wee while and dream about sipping your coffee surrounded by the swaying palm trees, sandy beaches and scantily clad hula dancers.

OI ! Where are you going, I haven’t given yoo the address yet !


I personally like the ‘Tea Trek’ section where you can take a journey to Magoeba's Kloof and visit a plantation near Tzaneen, South Africa where a very kind gentleman named Gerhard Venter describes his childhood memories of an area blessed with some of the finest tea estates in the world, or, find out all a
bout the different varieties of China Tea.
For instance, did you know that all tea comes from the same plant, and what distinguishes different teas is the degree to which the tea has been processed. You can find out all about it and so much more on-site.

Also on-site you can discover how to be a contributor to this worthy site, if you wish or you can link to other related sites, or simply do yourself a ‘ flavour ’ and join up with the fabulous Epicure Exchange where you can meet other like minded folks, exchange your knowledge, or just have a good ‘blether’ over a nice cup of tea which is what I suspect that the 'mutual' friends in the title have been dooing :-):-)

PS, mind and tell ‘em... auldmac sent yoo.
