Tried out decaf
We were just going out for some fresh air from the constant traffic and my parents decided to have a little bit of coffee, which I reluctantly also go and order. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that I’m a bit wary of my caffeine intake. I’ve tried one of those coffee energy drinks once a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t sleep properly for 2 days due to that. Not the best experience by far.
Anyway I realised when I looked at the menu that there’s a decaf option available (this cafe is the high-end type of cafe) and decided to try a latte. I was tempted, if anything to try it out. My body always has a roulette when it comes to the affects of caffeine. Sometimes nothing happens and I still could sleep after drinking it (or is it that I was sleep deprived?), sometimes it just causes me to go to the toilet every 30 minutes for a few hours. Not sure whether it’s caffeine specifically causing that as I drink a mix of instant coffee and cafe coffee.
The baristas had to confirm whether they still have decaf beans or something, so I assume this isn’t that popular of an option. When the coffee arrived, my parents tried the decaf a bit first and described it as ‘coffee without the coffee’. I didn’t really notice much difference as I’m not a person that appreciates coffee (yet?). It doesn’t make me go wide eye at night, so I guess it’s okay? Don’t know whether any other places offer decaf though, so I’m not sure whether I would go to cafes more often after this.
