My mother has two chairs hanging above her fireplace. She uses them for impromptu extra seating, and to deter misbehaving grandchildren. Both uses work like a charm. No one actually gets a fireplace perch timeout, but from the looks on their faces, they do spend quite a bit of time thinking about it.


Chairs as Shelves!

While I agree that matcha isn't a natural substitute for espresso (somehow I can't imagine similar psychological profiles among espresso and matcha drinkers), I do think it's a great substitute for coffee in general.

I'm a coffee lover who's had to cut back, and daily matcha fills the void nicely. (You can see my basic match how-to here: http://www.5thjoy.com/2010/05/20/how-to-make-matcha-tea/)

My favorite thing about matcha is the steady energy, versus the spikes, sweats and trembles I'd get from that second or third cup of coffee.


Will Matcha Become the New Espresso?
