I was a late bloomer when comes to drinking coffee daily. When we opened a café in our busy mid-sized town, I wanted to have the best tasting coffee around. After purchasing eight different types of bean, we invited a handful of friends to a taste testing party. I decided to participate with the veteran consumers in this important event.
To my surprise, each cup had a distinctly different taste. We narrowed the liquid contestants down to three delicious brews. The following day we continued the taste test until the caffeine jitters prevented us from making a clear decision.
After several days of sampling a variety of coffees, I became aware of the fact that I was sampling the golden-brown beverage all day long—even after we chose a winner. Coffee had covertly entered my daily beverage consumption.
I ingest CBD sublingually nearly every day to obtain several different health benefits. When I discovered that technology has facilitated a way to infuse CBD into coffee, I was pleasantly intrigued. Of course, I was going to order a bag and sample a pot for myself.
After waiting about two minutes for it to cool a few degrees in my cup, I took my first sip of this hybrid golden brew. It tasted as delicious as it smelled. When I was about halfway through my second cup I noticed my neck had loosened up and the pain I had in my back was disappearing!
I ordered a pound of Columbian Supreme infused with 500 mg of CBD. I made a 10-cup pot which had about 60 mg of CBD. Have you noticed coffee seems to brew slower when you are anxiously waiting for it? It smelled wonderful—like fresh ground full-bodied Columbian should.
As I was working in my studio things seemed to go smoother than usual. After about two hours, I was sad to see the last evidence of coffee drizzle into my cup. I didn’t have any heartburn, nor did I experience the coffee “jitters”. I can only describe the way I felt as being overwhelmed with calm energy bursting with drive and purpose. My body was totally pain free.
The sticker shock of spending $55 for a pound of coffee was minimized after I did the math. An 8-ounce cup of this miracle coffee costed me about 68 cents. This was much less than Starbucks and even less than McDonalds coffee. I cannot remember regular coffee treating my soul and body as kind as this CBD infused coffee… including my taste buds.
