Meth Coffee Super-Caffeinated Beans
Related entries in Coffee news, Other Drinks
Meth Coffee, a San Francisco based coffee company, launched today an energy-based coffee roast for "energy addicts and caffeine freaks."
Meth takes "super-caffeinated" beans and adds in yerba mate (a stimulant and very yummy drink).
 Boasting an intense buzz and cocoa-tobacco finish, Meth Coffee is fresh-roasted within 48 hours of shipment to jumpstart workaholics, thrill seekers, artists, and subversives seeking an exciting new fuel for their endeavors.
The flavor of Meth Coffee’s Arabian and South American beans with yerba mate starts as a smooth, herbaceous attack that runs to a soft tobacco-cocoa finish. Yerba mate’s presence produces a gradual buzz arc for periods of intense play and creativity that some drinkers find more cerebral than coffee alone. Research has shown that yerba mate contains mateine, an alkaloid stimulant similar to those found in coffee and chocolate, as well as significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.
I think I’d definitely get a buzz from this coffee. It might be a weird buzz since a coffee buzz and mate energy feel different.

“Research has shown that yerba mate contains mateine, an alkaloid stimulant similar to those found in coffee and chocolate”
Rubbish: I’m tired of people claiming that yerba mate doesn’t contain caffeine. Dozens of chemical analyses published in the scientific literature have confirmed that “mateine” is in fact caffeine. They are listed in the Chemical Abstract Database as synonyms. Somehow, though, companies still get away will marketing mate as being caffeine-free (for instance Blenz, who recently started selling it). Mateine is marketing ploy, pure and simple.

adults, it is lower than in more puritanical America. And even the aficionados have their limits. In his blog, Mr (“Devilfish”) Ulliott says: “I was going to play…[a poPolo Ralph Laurenker contest in Spain], but to be honest with you I really couldn’t be bothered this time. Sometimes you just need a break.” With such a demanding training regime, who can blame him?
