		<title>Blog Neglection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at a house party last night and around 3am Peter suggested we have coffee. There was some Carte Noire instant, and Peter said &#8220;that coffee was written about on Velvet Liquid&#8221;.
I replied &#8220;What&#8217;s Velvet Liquid?&#8221;
well of course this is Velvet Liquid! I&#8217;ve neglected this blog so much I didn&#8217;t even recognize it&#8217;s name.

		<title>Instant Coffee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People can be snobby about instant coffee as much as they like, but when it comes down to it; coffee is sometimes drunk for the caffeine hit. And a damn good caffeine hit at that.
Instant coffee is generally made from low quality Vietnamese Robosta, to which an arabica coffee flavour is added. An enourmous quantity [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=velvetliquid.wordpress.com&blog=2415062&post=34&subd=velvetliquid&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Rooibos Tea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not so often that I write about tea, but to me it is still something quite important. Rooibos tea is fairly different to any other teas I&#8217;ve tasted before. Looking below you can see the difference clearly between the leaves. Rooibos is very red.

When brewed, Rooibos is however quite hard to tell from Black [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=velvetliquid.wordpress.com&blog=2415062&post=26&subd=velvetliquid&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Chocoshock Re Re Visited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have decided that I am going to start selling Chocoshock on an online store. This will be chocoshock.tk. Before you rush over there, you&#8217;re probably not going to see anything at all until my exams are over.
The Chocoshock store will stock:

Milk Chocolate with finely ground coffee with cumin and chilli
White chocolate and medium ground [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=velvetliquid.wordpress.com&blog=2415062&post=25&subd=velvetliquid&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Instant Cappuccino</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have recently come across a new line of &#8220;coffee&#8221;; instant capuccino, Instant mocha and Instant espresso. You just add hot water, stir like mad and hey presto- you are left with a tepid looking drink similar in appearance to Milo.
I personally find this pretty disturbing as it&#8217;s simply leading customers into thinking they&#8217;re purchasing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=velvetliquid.wordpress.com&blog=2415062&post=23&subd=velvetliquid&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Truth About Starbucks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[5 truths about Starbucks.

Starbucks pay minimum wages and their &#8220;baristas&#8221; go through very little if any barista training.
They tamp way too hard. Ask for a double espresso and you&#8217;ll realize how sour and bitter it is. (This is why people put so much crap in their coffee at Starbucks, they need to cover the taste.

		<title>The moka Pot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pure elegance in itself. In my opinion there&#8217;s little more full fulling than seeing that golden liquid fountain out of that metal pillar. Now, you all probably think I&#8217;ve gone crazy or something, but the Moka pot is really that beautiful. This method of brewing coffee is popular in Italian households as the beverage produced [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=velvetliquid.wordpress.com&blog=2415062&post=14&subd=velvetliquid&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Chocoshock Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brothers friend had a go at making some choco-shock, this time with Galaxy and GROUND Illy Espresso coffee. The main difference this time, being that the coffee is ground. At first I was very skeptical as to how it would all turn out, I just didn&#8217;t think ground coffee would be any good.
