It is weird what coffee actually does to you!

It is a typical working Thursday. Checking emails, roasting coffees and visiting new Cafe owners for follow up consultations. What was different is that everyone had a difficulty in understanding me. Nope i did not speak another language nor was i losing passion in talking coffee. I did lost something though, i lost my voice and i was squeaking....

It is terrible because there was a schedule to meet a Barista friend for some cupping and blending session. Tasting coffee mean you have to walk the talk and talk the walk. Yet, talk and communicate about it i can't. It does not help too that the last beverage your lips will ever touch (with a bad throat) is coffee but what i had was a SHOT too much. In fact, i was slurping almost 4 SO and 2 blends. 9 shots later and 2 Cappuccino (in 1.5hrs), i was done and the squeak i had changed to a little bit of vocal chords coming through. Drinking coffee actually work......

Now in the evening, the throat getting worse and surely, if i do visit the Doc, i will be told to rest and drink plenty of water cos the last time it happen to me, no medicine help. A tube of lozenge probably which never seems to help. A medical leave won't help too because tomorrow, i have another cupping session schedule at 12pm. Can't afford to take the medical leave either way... I do be believe though if i was not doing coffee as a career, MC would have been the most correct thing to do.

Passion for coffee and everything related to it surpass all challenges. It IS weird, what coffee actually does to you!
