Violin in C Sharp

 I was at the emergency pet hospital recently to support a friend, and the lobby had this very strange coffee/ tea machine with these pouches that you insert into almost a little credit card slot.  I've had other instant coffee single serve tea offerings, but had never tried this one.  Squishing the packet between my fingers, it felt like there was liquid inside - like a chai concentrate that the machine adds hot water to in order to dilute it. As far as instant single serve chais go, this had a more complex spice profile, but it had the bitter aftertaste that so many chai concentrates leave on my palate on the end note and after taste.  Adding cream or creamer can often lessen the bitterness of that lingering note, and that was true in this case as well - but it was still there. Final verdict:  Better than bad coffee to sit in an emergency waiting room with - but not by a very large margin.  Not something I would buy for myself.
