About this word search

Darjeeling and Assam are both regions of India, and the teas named after them could hardly be more different, the first light and floral, the second strong and malty enough for a splash of milk. Rooibos and Chamomile are on the list as well, although neither comes from the tea plant.

The coffee half belongs behind the counter. A Ristretto is an espresso pulled short, an Affogato is a shot poured over ice cream, and the Tamper presses the grounds into the Portafilter before the water goes through.

Words run in all eight directions here, backwards included. LAPSANGSOUCHONG is the longest run, fifteen letters with no space, and a sensible place to begin. Lungo and Assam are short enough to hide, so leave them till last.

Ways to use this word search

  • With your coffee

  • On the go

    Slip a few printed sheets into your bag for the train, a waiting room or a weekend away. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Puzzle together

    Bring the sheet to your book club, a night in with friends or a visit to your parents and see who finds every word first. Or play online and find out who is fastest.
