I decided to try Catapult Coffee because they claim their natural herb enhanced coffee will give you added mental and physical energy. I don't know about you, but being the mom of four active kids (2 of them busy teenagers) I can use all the help I can get. I'm a coffee-a-holic and I figured if my little addiction could boost my brain and give me a little spurt of energy, it was worth giving it a try. Your probably wondering how a coffee-a-holic doesn't have any energy. That's easy to explain. I drink a lite coffee in the early morning and a decaf at any other time of day.
I got my 12 oz can of Dragon Roast Catapult Coffee. I was a little nervous because I get a whopping headache if I overdo the caffeine. I read the literature associated with my can of coffee. This is what I found:
Yerba Mate: Widely popular herb used to make a pleasantly stimulating drink, known for relieving mental and physical fatigue.
Angelica Sinensis (Dong Quai): One of the the most used and highly respected herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine. This energetic herb has a reputation for the traditional uses of helping to maintain healthy circulation and blood flow.
Guarana Seed Powder: Used by indigenous people of the Amazon rain forest to make a drink to decrease fatigue and stimulate energy.
I decided to give it a try by brewing up a couple of cups in my small 4 cup coffee maker. I used the same amount of this coffee as I did my regular coffee in the filter, a full, slightly rounded 1/8 cup scoop per 2 cups.
The flavor is great! It has an excellent fresh taste of Arabica coffee. Keep in mind that I prefer my coffee and tea's a little on the strong side, so this was a perfect blend for my taste buds. It was a strong, smooth flavor without being totally overpowering. I kept waiting to be able to taste the herbs, but I really didn't. All I tasted was the Arabica coffee.
I did notice that after I was about 1/2 way through my second cup I did indeed feel a bit more perky. It wasn't like a caffeine high either. I just felt more like I was actually going to get things accomplished. My to-do list is never-ending, so it's pretty easy to feel overwhelmed. I also didn't experience that let-down, bottom dropping out, kind of feeling that can be associated with having too much caffeine. When the energy did wear off, which was so naturally gradual I really didn't notice it, there wasn't a lingering headache or grumpiness.
I definitely like this coffee! I've recommended it to family and friends who have tried it and they liked it too. I feel pretty comfortable recommending it to readers because I think the majority will like it too. Everyone has their own definition of delicious and I think most will enjoy it and be able to find the right balance to meet their taste.
Catapult Coffee also offers three different flavored varieties too. Cinnamon Dragon, Vanilla Crane, and Hazelnut Tiger. As soon as I'm able to get those I'll be sure to give you the full scoop.
You can follow the link at the end of this article or in the coffee buying sites if you're interested in purchasing a can of Catapult Coffee. I'm not listing the prices because coffee prices can fluctuate so much, but I found the prices to be very competitive with those in the store.
