Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Lately, I've switched from coffee to a nice, soothing cup of tea. (files.mastodon.social)

Edit: pu'er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

Black tea has more caffeine, but you can get pretty close to that with light roast coffee. Dark roast is weaker but sold as "strong" because of the bitter ass flavor profile. Light roast tastes much better, even tea like and has more oomph.

Light roasts taste different, not necessarily better, and dark roasts aren't necessarily excessively bitter. And the difference in caffeine due to roasting level is minimal, it is much more affected by type of bean and how it's handled before roasting.

It all comes down to what you want from your coffee...if you want floral and fruity with higher acidity, go for the lighter roasts. If you want chocolate, caramel and nuts with lower acidity, go for the darker roasts. I personally dislike the floral profile of many lighter roasts, it gets a bit "soapy" IMO, which is the same issue I have with most tea.

Dark roast in America almost always equates to a burnt arabica flavor. There can be good dark roasts, but you tend to have to go specialist coffee to get them.
