Concerning morning beverages.

The elves drink only herbal tea. Utterly without caffeine. They have no specialists around this, all elves know how to procure and brew simple forrest teas. They never add anything to it. It's always the best cup of tea they've ever had.

Hobbits also only drink tea. But they are much more cultured about it. They have tea specialists, who have trade with far flung places to procure new and exotic teas (Hobbit tea merchants are the only acceptable "out of shire profession") They also love adding things to their teas. Lemons, milks, cinnamon..and they also have teas for different times of the day and different meals. A high tea culture, if you will.

Orcs/Uruks drink only coffee. Infact, Orcs have a robust trade system, where they trade iron ore, for coffee beans and Jamaican spiced rum. The spiced rum goes in both of their primary beverages...their morning coffee...and their "afternoon tea"..which isn't tea at all but is actually just spiced rum, bone broth and red pepper juice, shaken...not stirred. With their coffee though, it's more of a social occasion...the whole family, children included, gather in the morning for the drinking of the morning coffee. Which soon enough turns into a rather rowdy situation, especially on Mondays.

Dwarves have perhaps the highest coffee culture in all the lands, with vast trade networks, they procure the finest beans from around the globe. The idea of barista coffee, comes from the Dwarves..only they are called and are very much considered barkeepers. Infact barkeepers, brewers, roasters, barrel makers and all the various merchants are part of the same guild and one of the most difficult crafts to get accepted into as an apprentice...second only to the Veterinarians guild. The most popular way that dwarves like their coffee though, is dark roasted and slowly dripped, using only pure glacier water. A cup of dwarven coffee has no equal.

The mannish beverages are really just a lesser copy of the dwarven and hobbit styles. However, men are much more adaptable and find contentment in having good optionallity, as opposed to perfection with one thing. Though they have coffee barkeepers, it's not as regimented a profession as the dwarves have. Actually, some of the finest coffee barkeepers are women, one of only two professions they are allowed to have...barkeeper/tavern wench and sandwich shop keeper.

The various trade networks of the races often criss-cross one another, and competition is high and fierce for access to the best commodities at the best prices...and a sort of soft war or cold war has been going on for centuries amongst the various merchants. Orcs have the highest body count of merchants they've assassinated, however Hobbits are way ahead of the field when it comes to quantity of goods that have been burglared successfully from their competition.

The idea that a single woman might think of herself as the equal to a man was derided by the late nineteenth-century radical thinker and poet Edward Carpenter, who said in 1897 that spinster feminists were 'out of line . . . Such women do not altogether represent their sex; some are rather mannish in temperament; some are "homogenic", that is inclined to attachments to their own sex rather than the opposite sex; such women are ultra-rationalising and brain-cultured; to many, children are more or less a bore; to others, man's sex-passion is a mere impertinence, which they do not understand, and whose place they consequently misjudge.'
