The story of Coffee in a corporate office
A corporate research team found that a young lady on her first day at work, removed from her handbag three packs of instant coffee 3 in 1 – namely instant coffee, sugar, and non-dairy creamer, and then proceeded to empty the three packs into one cup, adding hot water, making a strong coffee. She wasn’t through yet, because she also opened another pack of chocolate powder (a miracle wellbeing booster) and sprinkled the chocolate powder onto her hot coffee, creating a tremendous aromatic smell that pervaded through the office’s central airconditioning system.
After three months, other ladies in the corporate setup began suddenly drinking coffee instead of pure tea. It was a subtle conversion process, and soon it was revealed that coffee in the afternoon increased the oomph towards work, stimulating the CNS system and the muscles of the employees thereby enhancing the potential to put long hours at work.
The Ginseng miracle in a cuppa: additives enhances the effects of coffee
The most popular add-on ingredient is powdered ginseng. Ginseng is the traditional Chinese herb that is a root, and American ginseng is preferred to Korean or Chinese ginseng. This herb makes one alert when taken, and is normally taken to strengthen one’s immune system or body. One can get the ginseng powder from the Natural Herb Store or in the form of capsules that can be emptied into a cuppa when one needs the “oomph”.
The ginseng root powder carries a somewhat bitter taste. One just needs to add sufficient powder to give an enhanced aroma and the “oomph” one needs.
Another way is to add the “Tongkat Ali” root powder, which may be slightly harder to obtain. This root is from an original plant in Malaysia and is a well-researched herbal root with aphrodisiac features. The aborigines of the tropical jungles of Malaysia use this to enhance their “meaningless” and this they prove by having big families. Commercially, one can get a bottle of this Tongkat Ali powder under the brand name “Power Root” throughout the world. A small pinch and one will find the difference in taste and the feeling of instant well-being.
One may cultivate that extra edge and “oomph” when one takes the next cup of coffee, whether it is an espresso, cappuccino, or latte.
Its Oomph which is the intricate inner feeling of that the power brings, unexplained yet real, that comes with the drinking of coffee.”
