Something about more oils being retained because of how it's brewed. Plus, it actually has less caffeine than a cup of coffee, because you have less of it.
Oh yes, a lot of people here say that. They think it's too flat or they don't like pine trees or other dumb reasons. (I understand not liking flat landscapes, but that just means that you don't like it, not that it's ugly. Also, a LOT of the USA is flat, so by saying you hate FL because of that you're saying you hate half of the USA.) I didn't find the Midwest overly appealing looks-wise, but even I admit that the fields of corn rippling on windy days is very pretty, and when the corn is down you can see for MILES, which makes for gorgeous sunsets.
I think people just watch too many Christmas movies about having snow, despite only a very small percentage of the entire world actually having snow for Christmas, so they get bitter that there's no snow here or something. I also often hear, "I miss having four seasons." If they are not seeing four seasons in Jacksonville, they are not paying attention. Miami doesn't have four seasons, but we do. I've said this a few times before, but my grandma, who lives in northern MI (where THEY don't have four seasons, dude - they had lows in the 30s in August!) was shocked to discover that we do have four seasons when she spent her first fall-winter-spring here.
But I agree - every part of America is pretty in its own way. Even Lincoln, IL. Hehe.
