Actually, this is Jerry's wife Carol, writing this review about Cafe' Avarle. I felt we could no longer afford Gano coffees, since we now live on social security, even though we really like them. My husband decided we "needed" them and he ordered his preferences and also Cafe' Avarle black, which is new to us. He did mention something about it being good for the brain. I was very happy to have Gano coffee in the house again, as I'd missed it. About two weeks after I started having a packet of Cafe' Avarle each day, I noticed that I seemed less prone to being depressed and I had more patience with every day life around me. I also felt up to taking on a couple of new projects. I mentioned to my husband that I thought the coffee was making me feel better mentally, and he just "grinned" and said, "I know". I guess I wasn't as cranky. I made sure he ordered more Cafe' Avarle, so I wouldn't run out, because the mental difference has been that great! Carol Knapper
