It's hard to believe, but the tiny coffee bean packs a big punch, and not just in terms of perking us up. Coffee is proven to lower the risk of heart ailments and Parkinson's disease. Like tea, it is full of antioxidants; it recharges the brain and keeps you alert. Don't give up on your morning coffee when the weather turns warm. Instead put your coffee on ice, and shake it to create a tasty, frothy mix. We recommend switching to an organic blend in order to reap all the benefits of this impressive bean.

Ingredients:
