I was working as a dealer representative for stocks and shares at that time, and that means in a really stressful environment, being in the trading room all the time. So taking some time off to catch a cuppa and to be back to trading and watching the trading screens for the best prices was the perfect break anyone could hope for.<\/p>\n<p>My new assistant was a young lady in her mid twenties, and it was interesting to see her prepare her drink.<\/p>\n<p>No, she wasn&#8217;t a tea drinker like me. Instead, she was a coffee fan, perhaps even an addict to coffee, you may say. On her first day at work, she took out of her handbag three packs of instant coffee 3 in 1 &#8211; namely instant coffee, sugar and non-dairy creamer, and then proceeded to empty the three packs into one cup,adding hot water, making a strong coffee. She wasn&#8217;t through yet, because she also opened another pack of chocolate powder and sprinkled the chocolate powder on to her hot coffee, creating a tremendous aromatic smell that pervaded the trading room.<\/p>\n<p>That was some &#8220;<em>oomph<\/em>&#8221; in her coffee.<\/p>\n<p>After a period of three months, I found I was suddenly drinking coffee myself and wasn&#8217;t a pure tea drinker anymore. It was a subtle conversion process, and soon I found I really need that coffee in the afternoon trading session.<\/p>\n<p>Now, looking back, I have learnt a lot of techniques to add more &#8220;oomph&#8221; to my cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>One way is to enhance the taste with some special add-on ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>My most popular add-on ingredient is powdered ginseng. Ginseng is the traditional chinese herb which is a root, and american ginseng is preferred to korean or chinese ginseng. This herb makes one alert when taken, and is normally taken to strengthen one&#8217;s immune system or body. You can get the ginseng powder from the Natural Herb Store or in the form of capsules that you can empty into a cuppa when you need the &#8220;oomph&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Be reminded that the ginseng root powder carries a somewhat bitter taste. So don&#8217;t equate quantity with more &#8220;oomph&#8221;. You just add sufficient to give you the enhanced aroma and the &#8220;<em>oomph<\/em>&#8221; you need.<\/p>\n<p>Another way is to add the &#8220;<em>tongkat ali<\/em>&#8221; root powder, which may be slightly harder to obtain. This root is from an original plant in Malaysia and is a well researched herbal root with aphrodiasic features. The aborigines of the tropical jungles of Malaysia use this to enhance their &#8220;<em>maniless<\/em>&#8221; and this they prove by having big families.<\/p>\n<p>Commercially, you can get a bottle of this Tongkat Ali powder under the brand name &#8220;Power Root&#8221; throughout the world. Just add a small pinch and you will find the difference in your taste and feel the subsequent well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can have that extra edge and &#8220;oomph&#8221; when you next take your coffee, irregardless whether it is an espresso or a latte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Oomph is the intricate inner feeling of that touch of power, unexplained yet real, that comes with the drinking of coffee&#8221; I had been a long term tea drinker, preferring tea to any other beverage for years, until one day, I had a new assistant.
