#coffee tips

Orcs/Uruks drink only coffee. Infact, Orcs have a robust trade system, where they trade iron ore, for coffee beans and Jamaican spiced rum. The spiced rum goes in both of their primary beverages...their morning coffee...and their "afternoon tea"..which isn't tea at all but is actually just spiced rum, bone broth and red pepper juice, shaken...not stirred. With their coffee though, it's more of a social occasion...the whole family, children included, gather in the morning for the drinking of the morning coffee. Which soon enough turns into a rather rowdy situation, especially on Mondays.

Dwarves have perhaps the highest coffee culture in all the lands, with vast trade networks, they procure the finest beans from around the globe. The idea of barista coffee, comes from the Dwarves..only they are called and are very much considered barkeepers. Infact barkeepers, brewers, roasters, barrel makers and all the various merchants are part of the same guild and one of the most difficult crafts to get accepted into as an apprentice...second only to the Veterinarians guild. The most popular way that dwarves like their coffee though, is dark roasted and slowly dripped, using only pure glacier water. A cup of dwarven coffee has no equal.

The mannish beverages are really just a lesser copy of the dwarven and hobbit styles. However, men are much more adaptable and find contentment in having good optionallity, as opposed to perfection with one thing. Though they have coffee barkeepers, it's not as regimented a profession as the dwarves have. Actually, some of the finest coffee barkeepers are women, one of only two professions they are allowed to have...barkeeper/tavern wench and sandwich shop keeper.
