Last year, I gave up drinking coffee for the third time in my life. Why?
For a few reasons…. but mostly because I didn’t like the addictive qualities of it.
I had been searching for alternatives for a long time, but nothing I tried really compared to the real taste of coffee I enjoy having.
Even decaf options always tasted weird to me. So, I just chose not to drink it anymore.
In sharing my experience, I learned that many Members coming to the center were also looking for an alternative! Many of them complained of digestion issues, caffeine crashes or addictions.
Some having cancer told me that (ideally) their nutrition should be less acidic and more neutral or alkaline. They struggled because they were able to make other alternative, healthier choices…except when it came to their coffee!
A month after I gave up coffee for the third time, Jay & I met a local coffee roaster.
He educated us that coffee is actually HEALTHY!
My question to him was… “then, why are we always being told it’s not healthy?“
He shared that nearly all major coffee companies that produce coffee and purchased at retail stores are not good for you. They add (syntehtic) caffeine to the coffee to make it more addictive so that you buy more of it!
Further, even if they are sourcing certified organic coffee beans, they do things in the roasting, decaffination, or packaging processes that make the coffee not good for you either. This includes using toxic agents to kill mold (they don’t tell you this of course).
This also included using preservatives to increase the shelf life of the organic coffee!
Yep… it’s true!
Even coffee that is “certified” organic with all of the colorful USDA, and Fair Trade stamps of approval can have chemicals added to it during the packaging process to increase shelf life. I was shocked!
How can this be? I learned that they can get away with this because the coffee was in fact sourced as certified organic. They are not required to tell you that preservatives were added during the packaging process!
After learning this, I felt duped and couldn’t help but wonder what other organic foods this happens with?
He invited me to try coffee from this roaster. He said he could make me a “healthy coffee” – one that is a low acid coffee and roasted in such a way that there are no chemicals, preservatives, or toxins used. Just fair-trade organic coffee in its pure state, that is carefully roasted and that is not only delicious but “good for you” too.
I gave it a try and oh. my. word! It was the best cup of coffee I ever had!
I could really taste the difference!
Not only that, I didn’t get the jitters, and there was no digestional discomfort afterwards either!
With this experience, we partnered with him to create and offer his healthy blends of coffee! We are proud to introduce Good For You Coffee Club to our Members!
Good For You Coffee Club is offering both ground and whole bean options in 3 distinctive healthy blends:
1) Sumatra Wellness Blend – a smooth light-medium roast coffee
2) Bold & Boundless Blend – a dark roast coffee
3) Delightfully Decaffinated – we use swiss-water process to decaffinate. No chemicals or funky aftertaste. In terms of taste, I couldn’t tell the difference between this and a normal cup of coffee!
The Good For You Coffee Club roaster is a local, family owned roastery for over 40 years.
He is not a mass producer of coffee, but an artisan roaster.
(They are also members of our center and have a strong belief in eating wholesome, organically grown food as much as possible!)
He personally selects where they source their coffee beans from (all certified fair-trade organic). Once received, the coffee is carefully inspected, and as orders come in the coffee is roasted in small batches that are shipped fresh to your doorstep in the same day. The coffee is never sits on a shelf waiting to be sold!
It does cost more to produce it in small batches like this, but, if you love your coffee but also value your health and wellness… coffee just doesn’t get any fresher tasting or better for you than this!
Coffee & Giving Back:
We feel strongly about the importance of giving back to support members in time of need.
With every bag of coffee purchased a percentage of the proceeds will go towards the Energy Exchange Donation Box at the center, which is used to help members who have demonstrated a financial need to obtain services at the center.
Invitation – Discount Code:
We invite you to give it a try – and to use code quantum10 to get an extra 10% off your entire order too (this is on top of any discounts on the site already)!
We are excited to make this fresh, clean alternative available to our members who love drinking coffee but value their health and wellness even more!
With much love and light to our members & community…
