Most of the country is tucking into takeaways and barista coffee at level 3 while Auckland watches from a distance.<\/p>\n
And Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern herself was one of those lucky enough to get a takeaway coffee the day Wellington moved to level 3.<\/p>\n
She told ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan how she and her staff celebrated the return of takeaways yesterday.<\/p>\n
\"One of my team came and brought me [a coffee] in the morning, which was lovely,\" she shared.<\/p>\n
But what she did next will shock coffee snobs around the country.<\/p>\n
\"I then split it with some other staff members who didn't have one,\" she admitted. \"We have a small bubble and I felt guilty having one, so we rationed the coffee.\"<\/p>\n
And while the radio hosts joked that it was \"so socialist\" of her, Ardern went on to say \"the saddest thing for them is that I drink half-strength coffee!\"<\/p>\n
Turns out the PM doesn't go hard and early on the caffeine, even after a level 4 lockdown.<\/p>\n
\"But after no one having coffee for that long, they needed to take it easy. You don't want to go too heavy, too hard.\"<\/p>\n
Last year when the first level 4 lockdown lifted, Ardern revealed what she'd been craving the most during lockdown.<\/p>\n

\"Weirdly, I don't drink a lot of coffee and yet I still remember when we moved the ability to go and get a takeout coffee, that felt like a real landmark moment for me,\" she told The Hits' Laura McGoldrick.<\/p>\n
\"If not coffee, what does keep you going?\" asked the radio host.<\/p>\n
\"Well my day doesn't start as early as a breakfast radio host but it's often dark at both ends of my day. I drink tea like it's water, I drink a lot of tea.\"<\/p>\n
\"Very English, milky. I drink a lot of milky tea just like my grandmother.<\/p>\n
\"Clearly in this interview you've deduced that I was born old.\"<\/p>\n
