About Me

coffeeandteacorner

My name is Alexandra, and this site is born from my love for tea and coffee.

I've grown up with tea, and discovered coffee only in college. But I have a hard time picking a favorite between the two.

That's why you'll find articles both on coffee and tea, respectively.

I hope you'll enjoy these articles at least as much as I enjoy writing them for you.

Have fun, and have a great day !
