Trying Square mile’s Thirika Kenyan coffee this week in the Aeropress. First time and it’s a really unique flavour! Would love to hear thoughts on these beans or Kenyan coffee in general!

And here I am caffeine free for 6months, it was a tough journey xD
What led you away from caffeine?
Less caffeine means more coffee for me!
I was drugged to a energy drink right after lunch. I noticed I had to drink it to feel right. so I stoopzd cold turkey and when I felt the withdrawal symptoms a week after (dizziness, headaches, nausea), I understood how good of a thing it was to stop being drugged. But caffeine has a pass in our society… when I see all the people needing coffee to function, I feel bad for them. Now my energy is evenly spread out during the day and not only for 2 hours. I can even work out in the morning!
That’s an interesting perspective. I find caffeine really useful, as I use it as pre-workout in the morning (I train strength most days of the week around 7am).
I stay away from it otherwise, though, mostly for the reasons you cite. Don’t want to be overly dependent on it.
I did try their decaf blend which was ok. Not as good as full fledged but a good option for me when I fancy an afternoon coffee.
