Instant is good when I can’t get any real coffee, but for cooking, I’d rather use a good dark roast coffee. It really seems to make the flavor standout, where the Instant coffee seems to get lost with the other ingredients.

I never have drunk tea made with a coffee bean. But i think, it may be like more test than only tea. I will surely try coffee and black tea and let you know later.

A drink with a mixture of coffee and tea is very popular in SE Asia and
Hong Kong. “Cham”, which stands for “mix”, is usually made from
brewed coffee and black (Indian/Ceylon) tea with condensed milk and
sugar added to it.

BTW, a coffee bean will not dissolved as in disappeared and unroasted bean will hardly have any flavour. Unless they used instant coffee in the
fang cha.

I like the Idea of hiding a coffee bean inside of a pu’er cake struck me as marvelously subversive. Really a great idea.

Most people have something that they get preachy about. I’m curious about what the foundation of your anti-coffee position is. It being “not tea” doesn’t explain why anyone would be trying to convince people not to drink it.

Yes, I think that is true.

hmm coffee mixed with pu’er that would taste nice but it would take a lot of coffee for it to make just a suttle diffrence

Yeah, it makes sense to me that a person who enjoys good coffee (black – not a person who drinks quad-venti whipped cream mocha death bombs) might enjoy the taste of some pu’er teas also. Although that is sort of a different idea than combining them, and while I approach your blend suggestion with scientific curiosity…perhaps we can just assume it might taste kind of icky.

There’s a strange bottled tea/coffee blend that I tried once, which was actually pretty good. I can’t remember the name of it, though, and I can’t find any online proof of its existence.

Fascinating. I’ve often thought that (serious) coffee drinkers would find pu-erh to be interesting and perhaps a great jumping-off point into the world of tea. And pucafé sounds like a fairly brilliant, though possibly horrible, invention– like Frankenstein’s monster, or the nuclear bomb, or Velcro.

I bet it would be somewhat interesting to try different combinations of tea and coffee, in the spirit of this thing. Maybe 80% pu, 20% French roast… or 70% shengpu, and a lighter coffee….

Or maybe I could just throw up now and save the time.
