   Hopefully, the child has a “Save the Liturgy” teddy bear ….

   Now that young one needs a brown Mystic Monk Coffee Hoodie to stay warm this winter.

   It is funny that in the (old) Penguin translation of the Dutch children’s classic ‘Afke’s Ten’, about a poor Frisian family with 10 children, set at the time of the Boer War, the children drink hot chocolate for a treat, but in the Dutch original, it is coffee! The Dutch also have something more like the warm equivalent of coffee ice cream (assuming you sweeten it) than like cappuccino, a little strong coffee to which is added a lot of warm milk, in translation something like, ‘coffee the wrong way round’.

   I emailed the Mystic Monks for the price plus P@H for some of their sample coffee so that I could decide what I liked before ordering a large quantity and possibly not liking it. The price for postage to Australia was so reasonable that I re-sent the email stressing that I was writing from Australia and the reply came that the price was correct. I will certainly be ordering some samples and, if I like the coffee, a larger quantity.

   This is part of the email:

   I did double check and yes that is the price. We do not charge the
   total price to ship as it is expensive sometimes. We help pay the
   shipping costs so it is more affordable.

   Coffee’s got antioxidants, so it can’t be wrong…. :) Of course, it’s long been a home remedy to give coffee to “hyper” children, because sometimes it actually calms them down. (My older brother was like this as a kid.)

   Re: the Dutch coffee thing, you’d have to use an army of sweeteners to get coffee past the anti-bitter tastebuds of kids.

   Quote: And while there may be juice in that mug, I hope junior is getting a….

   … richly aromatic mug of Mystic Monk Coffee!

   Yeah!. Than he can play the Exorcist on his mommy’s shirt.

   How about some Cistercian coffee from Spring Bank Abbey!. Some “Highlander Grog – Rum-Vanilla” or “St. Benedict JAVA JUMP Light Roast”

   I have a friend whose young (preschool age) children like “coffee.” It’s mostly milk but they do have a taste for it and ask for it though they don’t get this treat very often.

    Here in Australia mums can order a “baby chino” for their toddler. It is warm milk, a little sugar with a cappucino froth.

    My kids have “boy coffee” at my in-laws every Wednesday with Grandma and their great grandparents. It’s mostly hot chocolate and whipped cream but occasionally there’s some coffee mixed in.

    Fr Z, you’ve just about worn me down about ordering some more Mystic Monk. We might split a 5lb bag with the neighbors.

    Robert_H: I think you will like it. And if you can share a larger bag you can lower your cost even more!
