MJB Army Green Coffee in the two pound coffee tins are A MONSTER OF SLEEPLESSNESS.

I like to buy huge American coffee tins here in Japan because the empties are nice to store stuff in and the coffee seems to have a lot more caffeine than other types and it's cheap. But after I opened this MJB coffee and brewed a cup and drank it, I couldn't sleep for almost two days. I waited three months to try the coffee again; drank less than a cup yesterday and couldn't sleep all night and only managed to take a very short catnap the next afternoon. What's IN this stuff? I guess I have to throw it away. It's late at night and I'm not tired at all because of something I drank yesterday. WHY?

When I visited a coffee plantation in Ban Me Thuot I had the best coffee I ever tasted. Especialy when brewed the Vietnamese way. I still have the equipment, just need to order the coffee. So nice to be able to do that online now.

Hey, is this coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive tract of Door Buzzards? That's some exotic stuff!

for those times you need to keep going... studying all night, long road trips, etc.
I moved recently and with a deadline to make, I went 32 hours straight. The last
6 were worthless... could barely lift my feet.
