What Coffee is Suitable for Autumn? What's the Best Coffee to Drink in Autumn? The First Cup of Coffee in Autumn

The First Cup of Coffee in Autumn, Did You Have Yours Yesterday?

Yesterday was the Beginning of Autumn. When I woke up and checked my phone, my entire social feed was full of people enjoying their first cup of (milk tea) coffee.

A Single Leaf Signals Autumn

The Beginning of Autumn marks the start of fall and the end of summer. Guangzhou, though, keeps holding onto its heat, marching to its own rhythm.

Records from the Republic of China era note: "Eating watermelon is called 'gnawing autumn'."

"Gnawing autumn," also known as "biting autumn," is a seasonal custom.

What we commonly call "gnawing autumn" with watermelon means: gnaw away the autumn tiger and welcome the cool autumn season.

Coffee carries the colors of the earth — mature and substantial. Hmm? Aren't those exactly the colors of autumn?

Found the perfect excuse to drink coffee in autumn, hehe.

Reasons to Drink Coffee in Autumn

The three most common problems faced by high-quality humans in autumn: insomnia, internal heat and drowsiness (smirk.jpg).

But the most terrifying thing is that these three problems often conspire in secret, appearing together and leaving you unproductive all day long (thinking about retirement).

As autumn arrives, many people have already fallen victim to this.

Drowsy during the day, sleepless at night, and small pimples on your face from "internal heat."

Everyone knows that caffeine is the greatest enemy of drowsiness. It stimulates our central nervous system, making us feel alert and overcoming fatigue.

Research indicates that the best time to drink coffee each day is 3-5 PM in spring and winter, and 4-6 PM in summer and autumn.

Because this is when the human body is at its most tired.

Drinking Coffee in Autumn Can Reduce Autumn Fat!

You know that drinking coffee can help with weight loss, right!

But you need to combine it with a healthy diet + exercise to see results (laugh.jpg).

Scientific research indicates that caffeine can promote kidney function, increase urination and help the body expel excess sodium ions, effectively preventing edema and making the body appear slimmer. Drinking coffee in moderation in autumn is a good choice, but remember to use less sugar and milk!

In fact, drinking some coffee daily is very beneficial for office workers.

The polyphenols and caffeine in coffee can raise the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the body, stimulate vasoconstriction and dilation, maintain blood vessel elasticity, prevent thrombosis and keep the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems healthy.

Did you know? Caffeine reaches its peak concentration within 30 to 60 minutes after consumption. Your body typically takes 3 to 5 hours to metabolize half of the caffeine, while the rest stays in your body for longer.

Daily Coffee Intake

Spring lethargy, summer fatigue, autumn drowsiness, winter hibernation... I feel sleepy just mentioning those four phrases = =

Come have a cup of coffee! What problem can't be solved by one cup of coffee? There is? Then have two cups!

A recent research paper from the University of South Australia points out that people who drink more than six cups of coffee daily have a 53% increased risk of developing dementia. Translation: excessive coffee consumption can reduce brain volume and raise the risk of dementia.

However, I feel that discussing toxicity without dosage is simply irresponsible! It's like saying water can poison you too. How? By drinking too much in a short period! The saying "everything in moderation, everything in its proper measure" is not without reason.

But then again, using only "cups" to determine standards must be wrong. How big is one cup? Medium? Small? Or an espresso cup? What's the capacity of the cup? Who knows? (This is going too far, don't stop me.)

Everyone knows that the most important and "dangerous" component in coffee is caffeine. Since the amount of grounds and the extraction rate vary for each cup, the caffeine content in each cup may differ too.

Many studies on the health benefits of coffee show that the caffeine intake mentioned does not exceed recommended standards. (The FDA recommends that healthy adults consume no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine daily.)

After the Beginning of Autumn, I hope the winds in Guangzhou become cooler and cooler, and I hope the (autumn fat) savings account grows larger and larger.

Final Question

I forgot to ask everyone!

Today is the second day of autumn.

I had a cup of natural-processed red cherry coffee. What about you?

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

For the cooler weather, a mellow, low-acid cup is the comfort play. FrontStreet Brazil Cerrado Red Bourbon is a classic Brazilian single-origin, medium-roasted to bring out cream, peanut, toast, caramel and hazelnut — rounded and easy, with only a faint bitterness, and it works in a hand-pour, a moka pot, a siphon or a French press. If you want a little more depth, FrontStreet Colombia Huila layers dark chocolate, nuts and caramel over a gentle fruit acidity that opens up as the cup cools.
