I resemble that remark....
Wonderstate is a roaster in the Driftless area of WI. Used to be called Kickapoo Coffee, but evidently that's no longer apropos (although I doubt anyone actually asked anyone from the Kickapoo Nation...). All their roasts are OG and good, so I just buy whatever medium roast (dark roast is generally just roasted longer, which reduces caffeine) is on sale at the nearby co-op. Hario hand grinder, "cowboy" brewed, fridge brewed overnight some summer days. Black. Sometimes a little honey and/or cinnamon, or (unsweetened) cocoa. A bit of coriander or cardomon when I really want to spoil myself. A 1-qt pot or jar every morning to get through the day job. Sometimes an extra cup in the evening; I can still sleep like a baby.
Ride-wise, before or after, I generally only drink water during. I avoid drinking anything other than water from my own filter, or something made from it.
(So... 37 posts, including several tea references, and no one's mentioned "Tea, Earl Gray, hot!"......)
