Caffeine is good. Humanity owes much to it.
Coffee, tea, yerba mate, coca cola - whatever your poison.
With coffee, we are spoilt for choice - filter coffee, all the espressos and lattes, instant coffee - some of which can be very good.
But as everything, coffee is about timing. When to consumes as much as what to consume. Much as it happened in history.
Speaking of history, listen to this - Conquering the Night: The History of Coffee (youtube.com)
Our coffee epiphany happened in Utuado, Puerto Rico. Ergo, I will basically be partial to PR coffee forever.
Cafe Gran Batey - this shall forever be the benchmark for us. I would go back to PR just to visit this coffee farm, meet the very lovely owner-farmers and buy some of their beans.
