Coffee thoughts:
I love coffee. As nuanced and multifaceted as the flavor and aroma can be, I feel like the physical effects aren’t always so balanced. In larger amounts and over time, coffee can take more than it gives. A few days in a row of coffee leaves me with some intense adrenal fatigue. I like mixing it with nourishing herbs that counteract and/or potentiate aspects of what coffee has to offer. This pour over had about 17g of Kenyan coffee from heart and about 5g of freshly ground star anise, american ginseng, long pepper, fennel and galangal. A lot of the time I also add cardamom and saffron. If you’re a coffee purist, plz don’t take any of this personally.
