Becoming a morning person is usually quite a shock, followed by a bumpy road, for most young adults working their first job. After 4-and-a-half years of college and becoming spoiled by afternoon classes and sleeping in until noon, waking up at 6 am every day was an inexplicable transition. Needless to say, it took weeks of social adjustment to learn that I couldn’t stay up until midnight and still be perky and attentive the next day t work. Reality crept out of nowhere and then bam, there it was like a semi truck running me over.

Caffeine became a daily must in the mornings to fully awaken my brain and jumpstart my day. The few times I had drank coffee in the earlier years of my life, it was always doused with cream and sugar. Then quickly I learned that all of that rich and sugary mumbo jumbo was an easy way to get an upset stomach. My savior became gourmet flavored coffee – introduced to me by a friend – its bold and delicious flavors come in many varieties: mocha, cinnamon, hazelnut, French vanilla, and the list goes on. It’s a coffee that’s perfect just as it is.\
