Here are some more information for Monkey Tea:
You could follow a sucker's guide to buying your way into making good coffee but assuming you're not a simple minded consumer monkey, this will tell you how to actually make good coffee. It comes down to taste, but in order to understand the process you need to understand the chemistry involved. There are a few key points that you should bear in mind but they are just common sense really; buy good coffee, have a decent grinder and strainer and clean them between uses.
Simple physics would dictate that the finer you grind coffee, the greater the surface area, which means more can be extracted. However, after a while certain chemicals are extracted that does not add to the taste but ruin it. Allowing too much water to come into contact with ground for too long will lead to over-extraction, and ultimately ruin the taste. You can control this by determining the grind and amount of time the coffee is strained for. There is no perfect grind; it's a case of trial and error, depending on your preference and the quality of the coffee.
If you are particularly fussy about drinking tap water, be exactly as fussy when using water to make coffee. Standard tap water contaminants can include metals, chlorine, salts all of which taint the taste of the coffee. Ideally you would use bottled spring water but realistically it's best to use a charcoal filter either on your coffee pot or your tap.
Use no more than a single level tea spoon of coffee granules per cup of coffee but remember that the larger your batches the less likely you are able to prevent over-extraction. Many drip coffee makers will automatically do this by allowing a certain quantity of water to bypass the mixing process directly into the cup. Its best practice to brew a strong coffee and dilute it back than try and get it right in one go and tainting the flavour.
Once roasted, coffee immediately begins to lose its flavour, green beans can last for years without going off but unless you have industrial quality roasting machines at your disposal don't even think about trying to roast them yourself. Your best beans will not come from the supermarket or off the shelf of a coffee shop; you should order them online with speedy delivery. This will help you avoid getting beans that have been sitting around in container for six months while stocks remain high.
When ready to brew, use your CLEAN grinder and grind only enough coffee to serve, ensure the grind is even and place in your coffee pot. Add the right amount of water, bearing in mind the rule about larger quantities. If you want to add milk, do so at your own discretion but be aware that you shouldn't need milk if you do it right and lastly don't EVER add sugar, if you have to add sugar you don't like coffee, go buy a red bull instead.
If you're on the move and can't drink from a porcelain cup, make sure to use decent hot paper cups that wont dissolve and taint your coffee. Its also good practice to warm up cold cups so hot coffee doesn't crack the mug.
The Apes in Bornero
I've embarked on a journey of jet-lag so hard heart, it could challenge an astronaut. Borneo beckons because I've never been there. A meager 5 hours to LAX, 12 to Tokyo, 7 to Singapore and 3 to Kota. Mind you this is just one way not plus layover epoch.
Seating in nation brand, I require my body will burn to a condense, my muscles waste, pores clog and I'll balloon with "jet stomach" but it's ok. Conclusion is, I passion airplanes. The near psychosis of this that it's only a 5 day vacation and I'm spending virtually as much time on land as I will in the air.
The best benefit of my job are the site inspections, that is to witness first-hand what my groups will experience if a destination is new to me. This is far on my earth. Before departure, I surveyed links asking them, "Where is Borneo?" Only 10% answered right. This time I transport Terry and surprise of his strength in tow. Nevertheless he proves to be a good aviation soldier.
On our arrival journey in, I see glossy fair beaches, turquoise reefs and coconut trees that coverage out as far as the eye can see. At the airport, martin greeted us who will direct us and answer the 7,000 questions I've ready on this land. It's sauna hot.
We move out elapsed cocoa and tea plantations for our first route inhabit at Shangri La Tanjung Aru, an oasis of luxury right on the South China Sea. In the aloofness are 5 coral islands. A stunted quayside traverse will deposit you to any one for snorkeling the sea caves and world-period diving. Farther out is Pulau Tiga with its mud volcanoes where the first Survivor string was shot.
Here we're stained like a fasten of pot bellied pigs with an upgraded suite with fruit and orchids as well as a beachside knead. I feel like I've reached Nirvana with a tune of "I'm not precious" but I revel in all the services. Its natural playtime with activities provided here. And the spectacular Malaysian rock breakfasts should be filmed by the Food Channel.
Kota Kinabalu (aka KK) is the resources of Sabah with 340,000 inhabitants. My expectations of Borneo were of 5ft. Observer lizards and cranium hunting ethnic chiefs, but here I'm greeted with Starbucks and mega-malls.
The city is tattered and struggling hard to explain itself. Establishing by the British in 1881, it also has a lot WWII narration. The city's setting is the breathtaking 13,600 ft. Mt. Kinabalu, UNESCO W.H. Site for being the most bio-diverse mountain on earth.
It holds an undivided ecology and is a botanical paradise. There's an astonishing array of unusual flowers and fauna such as insect drinking plants, funky fungi and raffelsia, the worlds core flower of 3ft. Petals. It takes 2 living to bud and lasts just 7 time.
The swanky National Park is the mass of Singapore. Hillside tribes reside on the slopes. The mountain is scared to them as they think it is the resting place of their ancestors departed spirits.
For limitless time we tour museums, handicraft markets and water village. I buy gifts of pearls, organic teas, brunette, batik and baskets. As Americans, we feel like VIP tourists as most visitors are from Australia, UK, Japan and Europe.
The locals are so respectful and polite. There are 30 ethnic groups talking 80 different languages who live harmoniously together. Many are animists who worship all living clothes. The focal tribes are the Dusuns with their female priestesses, the Bajau's known as the "cowboys of the sea" and the Murats who live in standard longhouses. They are descendants of the notorious regulate hunters who once intensely secluded their territories and adorned their homes with "trophies" that were severed heads of their invaders.
Many here look Polynesian. Bahasa Malay is the main speech, a dialect that sounds to me like they're tongue in tongues. Second speech is English.
In August I bring 2 groups here. We'll input the interior to determine the essence of Borneo with its virgin rainforests, lavish everglade and enough nature to feel you've entered a living zoo.
We'll learn of the society and history but the thrilling part for me will be since the erratic species of pigmy elephants, Sumatra rhino, giant crocs, bearded pigs, gibbons, macaques and omni-donate trunk monkeys (the one's with Jimmy Duranti noses.)
The highlight will be Sepilok, the major gorilla refuge where we can get close and private with these "windswept men of Borneo."
Evenings by the ocean here provide a fantastic beauty that envelops one in serenity and it's fully romantic. I hate to permit but it's time to call another route I have booked for my groups.
The Shangri La Rasa Ria is a slice of heaven where one can do nothing or everything. There's morning yoga, Tai Chi, golf, ATV's, pigs, parasailing, a giant spa and more. Classes are given in Malay prose, cooking, skirt wrapping, beading, waft pipes and weaving. Nevertheless what makes this resort specially-special is its Nature Reserve.
The hotel helps furnish orphaned orangutans here. If the jungle continues to decline, these gentile creatures will face extinction in the windswept. Dr. Galdikas of OFI (Orangutan Foundation Int.) severely predicts, "Unless severe action is full quickly, these forests could be one in 5 to 7 living and the lunatic primate with them."
We listen a scold by a ranger to learn about the "man of the jungle," world's back prevalent ape. Genetically they are 96.4% creature and are considered the most sentimental creatures on earth. Trail led us up mountain slopes to outlook 7 confined baby orangutans, most orphaned from illegal logging that ruined their homes.
Unlike other primates, they prefer live over fighting. "Limon" had a tough early life. His mother was killed and eaten by plantation staff. They kept him as a pet chained to the edge of a stiff coop for 4 being awaited Forest Police rescued him. When he here, he was a sack of bones and final.
For 10 days he refused to eat until one day, a cute pineapple misused his life. He devoured it in entirety and since then, Limon hasn't clogged drinking. Now he's 5 epoch heavier and stuffs himself stupid. On graduation, he will be released back into the forest.
I look forwards to my proceeds and experiencing the true numinous Borneo. The best journey is always the one vacant home. As I embark Singapore Airlines, I feel I've gained 6 kilos from all the seafood I consumed. I doze like a baby on the long heave home via Taipei. The miracle of it all is that my check luggage managed to chase me 19,000 miles roundtrip and the verity that I still adoration airplanes.

I drink about five cups of tea a day as well. All throughout the day I drink green tea without any milk and sugar, but when I have it at night, I drink Bigelow sweet dreams tea. It's an herb tea made with chamomile and mint and it's caffeine free. This really does help me get a good night sleep when i drink one or two cups of it before I go to bed. It's ok that you drink a lot of tea because it is very good for you. I'm sure that once you get a few good nights of sleep, those bags under your eyes will disappear!
