Having a regular coffee routine can be like reaching the calm in a storm. It allows you to relax, gather your thoughts, and rejuvenate your mind and body to a more alert state. To get the most pleasure and benefits from these moments, it may help to know which kinds of coffee you should be drinking, and when. Here are some basic guidelines that you may wish to follow to help each of your days feel a little more special.
Morning
When you first wake up is arguably the most important time to get your coffee routine right, though some mornings you may feel as though any source of caffeine will do! It is better, however, to put a little thought into the beverage that kicks off your day. Many prefer a milder flavor to ease them into their daily routine, and luckily there are a few mild tasting coffees that still have enough kick in them to get you going. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in particular is well known for its mild, smooth, yet still complex flavor. Because the beans are cultivated in the cool and misty climate of the Jamaican Blue Mountains, the acidity is low, and as a result the brew you make from them is one of the most drinkable on earth, with or without cream and sugar. Choose either this or another low acidity coffee to wake yourself up kindly, without a bitter shock to your system.
Mid-Afternoon
Mid-afternoon is often the time when we start to nod off a bit. After lunch, your system may begin to run out of steam and require a bit of a wakeup call. If you are not on a schedule with room for a siesta, you are going to need a cup of coffee to give you that extra boost. When your day is already underway the best choice is going to be a very robust coffee. To keep your day interesting, this is also a good time to be constantly switching up your routine. Sampling different strong roasts from around the world (many gourmet coffee purveyors will have clubs you can join to try a new type each month or so) can keep you on your toes and remind you to really savor what you sip.
After Dinner
After dinner is a great time to enjoy a cup of coffee and continue your dinnertime conversation, but you may want to be a bit cautious about the amount of caffeine you are taking in. Thankfully, as long as the beans you purchase have gone through the right kind of decaffeination process, there are many options available for decaffeinated coffees that are just as delicious and flavorful as any other. To be sure you are purchasing beans or grounds that have not been adulterated flavor-wise, find a gourmet coffee purveyor that really puts in the time to do it right.
