Sometimes in the afternoon I need a pick me up. In other words, I am getting tired and need something to help keep me awake and going. Coffee seems like the logical choice, but I am always afraid if I have a cup of it in the afternoon, I will have trouble going to sleep at night.
One day I decided to try this drink, figuring it was a small amount of coffee, so hopefully it would pick me up and not keep me up at night. Turns out it worked perfectly, just the pick me up I needed with out keeping me up at night. Oh and it just happens to be delicious.
