Dried whole it brews into something closer to an herbal tisane than coffee: soft, fruity, tart and mildly sweet, with the taste of dried cherry and raisin with a light floral essence. It carries a small trace of caffeine, just enough to provide a little encouragement and therefore makes a great afternoon or evening cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTo these coffee berries, we add the prized golden root, rhodiola. Similar to coffee in that it is grown at high elevation, albeit in colder regions, rhodiola root has long been sought after as a premiere strengthening herb and was the first herb classified as an adaptogen - meaning it has the ability to naturally boost energy and assists the body in adapting to stress. It has a delightful golden rose flavour that provides body and balances the cup with the vital force of this renown root. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt most coffee farms, the harvest is gathered for the sake of the seed alone. The cherry is picked at the height of its ripeness, deep red and full of sweetness, then it is stripped away and cast aside so the bean within can be taken, dried and roasted. Tons of that nutritious, life-affirming bright fruit, the very part of the plant that carries the flavour of the sun and soil, are left to rot in heaps, treated as waste by a world bent on commodification and drunk on caffeine yet starving for nutrition and yearning for sustenance. For those with eyes to see, there are gifts to be had in this fruit, for it is grown on mineral rich mountainous soil by the hands of careful and attentive labourers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe source our\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/immaculataherbfarm.com\/products\/coffee-single-origin-colombian-pink-bourbon-natural-process?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=0756bcf7c\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"coffee\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e coffee\u003c\/a\u003e from family growers in Colombia who cherish these cherries and instead of discarding them, they carefully preserve them by sun drying, so that we may receive the full spectrum of gifts that are offered by this plant.
