Coffee, Caffeine and Wisdom

The longer you roast a Coffee bean and the darker it gets, the less caffeine that it actually has when it hits the cup. This makes for a complex dilema for those who want a bold taste and a high octane blend...thus "breakfast blends" it is an attempt to have it all. At what point can you maintain your youthful energy and have the sage wisdom that comes with age? Again it is some type of blend...The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom but that is only where it begins it is a long slow roast...but youthful energy (the buzz) comes from the brash lighter roast of living fast, thinking fast and loving fast....and it's fun; for a while. I'm not a big fan of breakfast blends because they provide the punch but compromise the tast...Having it all is a very elusive balance and ittakes the right blend....one could simply consume more of the bold, richer, darker roast. Never compromising the rich flavor of life and enjoying the sustained buzz of a slow roast. All of this is also a metaphor for great sex...Coffee is so versatile.
