How Should You Take Your Coffee? Green.
There’s nothing quite like a nice cup of coffee in the morning to start your day. Most people will take it black, with milk or sugar, but lately some have been taking it green.
What even is green coffee? Here’s what it is not : It’s not a special variety, it’s not coffee mixed with matcha, it’s not even something new.
We associate coffee with the color brown because that’s the hue it gains after being roasted, but coffee beans are naturally green. Green coffee is simply obtained from the beans before they are roasted. That’s all there is to it.
There are claims that green coffee helps to boost your metabolism and it’s been used to help with weight loss. Some specialists also believe it has antioxidant properties, that it can boost your immune system and that it helps to reduce the appearance of aging.
Ready to have a nice cup of green coffee?
Getting your hands on this drink isn’t as simple as going over to the nearest coffee shop and asking them not to roast their coffee. The unroasted beans need to be soaked in water for many hours, a bit like a tea that’s steeped for a looooong time.
You may not have that kind of time on your hands, so there is another solution : supplements. Green coffee also exists in powder or pill form, which allows for a quicker intake, while enjoying all the benefits. Win-win.
