So I re-ask the contessa.....
after something like three decades re. the tendency to instant powder. Tradition rooted in economics and poverty was the reply. There was always water boiling on the stove. English type tea west of the andes and mate to the east were the preferred beverages. Breakfast = instant. los onces = tea. Afternoon tea/dinner/supper = tea unless the dulce course (dessert) needed the bitterness of coffee.
