Courtney and I have been having this every day in a chocolate drink we call 'Superfood Coffee'. It has the same flavor and aroma as coffee, in a concentrated, non-toxic form. Coffee Bean Essence is made similar to other essential oils: By long, slow distillation of pure plant matter harvested from pristine areas, in this case coffee beans, until the 'essence' of the plant, its intentions, become concentrated in a substance which captures the mysterious intra-species molecules of plant-metabolites.
