TIL a $9 bag of Ethiopian beans from a Tuesday roast saved my 4pm crash and now I'm mad at my old grocery store brand
I used to grab whatever dark roast was on sale for like $7 a bag and drink it around 3pm without a second thought. Two weeks ago I switched to a small bag of Ethiopian beans a local shop roasts on Tuesdays for $9, and the 4pm slump that used to hit me like a wall just did not show up. The cheap stuff was giving me a fast buzz and then a hard drop by 4:30, which had me reaching for a second cup and messing up my sleep. This new bag has a lighter feel and the energy stays even until dinner, so I'm not chugging a third cup at 5pm anymore. It costs $2 more a bag and lasts me about 8 days, so that's like 25 cents a day for not feeling wrecked. Has anyone else noticed a cheaper bean makes the afternoon crash worse, or is it just how I brew it?

Roast date matters more than origin, those Tuesday beans are just fresher.
