We could crush them, sure. But instead we like to use the whole bean in blends like our <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/coffee-puerh\/10161DT01VAR004004.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Coffee Pu'erh tea (opens in a new tab)\">Coffee Pu&#8217;erh tea<\/a><\/u>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using\nthe whole bean gives the tea that perfect&nbsp;\nhint of coffee as well as that delicious slightly burnt aroma from the\nroasting, with the bitter aftertaste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#93aab3\" class=\"has-background\"><strong>BIG\nBEAN ENERGY <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\nusually crave coffee because what we\u2019re <em>really <\/em>craving is a big ol\u2019\ncaffeine kick. But which beans\/roast will give you that big bean energy you\u2019re\nlooking for? Just about any one, apparently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee\nbeans are grown in tropical climates around the world located near the equator,\nor what\u2019s colloquially called \u201cthe bean belt\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine\nlevels remain fairly stable in all types of beans, even when roasted. What <em>can\n<\/em>have an impact on caffeine level however, is <em>how <\/em>you make your\ncoffee. (Another similarity with our first love.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nsingle shot of espresso has an estimated 40 mg per ounce of caffeine, while a\ncup of drip coffee only has 10 mg per ounce. But since the size of a drip\ncoffee is usually bigger than an espresso, there\u2019s technically more caffeine in\na regular cup of joe than the fancier European counterpart. Just like the\ncelebs, make ours a Venti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#e18697\" class=\"has-background\"><strong>BEST\nOF BOTH ADDICTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want\nthat coffee flavour without the full-on jitters?
