About Coconut Coffee
My name is Tristine, I am a Coffee lover, and a very fussy Coffee lover mind you.
If the coffee I am served is no good, burnt or not to my liking, I will never have a coffee in the same place again!
With Master Barista Certificates, Ultimate Milk Art Texturing & Coffee Presentation Techniques Certificates behind me, I have become a bit of a Coffee Connoisseur.
I have always been right into fitness and living a healthy lifestyle, previous to starting Coconut Coffee I was a Zumba Fitness Instructor until being a Barista and running my own business took over.
One of the things I like to do is to research super foods, to find out about their amazing health benefits and find ways to incorporate them into my daily diet and this is how Coconut Coffee came about. After researching all the health benefits of Organic Coconut Oil, I was amazed at what the benefits of adding it to your diet could be. I was researching the Health Benefits of Coconut Oil and thought to myself " how can I get this into my daily diet?" "What do I have everyday?" Yes you guessed it, Coffee!
So from this, I came up with the idea of adding it to my beloved morning coffee mostly to get all these benefits into my diet, then I realised that it tasted AMAZING and Coconut Coffee was born or should I say.. Brewed!
I did some internet surfing and found very little about adding coconut to coffee, but did find a few blogs about "bulletproof" coffee overseas, this is where Coconut Oil, or sometimes MTC Oil, Grass Fed Butter and Vanilla or Cinnamon are added to coffee and all blended in a blender, but there was no way I was going to be putting butter in MY coffee! Eeeww!
I decided to experiment with Organic Coconut Oils (there are many on the market and a lot of inferior products too) and Coffee.
I tried blending it, tasting it, seeing how it presented in coffee, had friends try it, and shared the concept with other Coffee shop owners and Cafe owners that I am friends with.
I tasted MANY different Coffee beans, blends and degrees of roasting and bounced off walls for days to get a Coffee Roaster to make me the Perfect Bean with the best Flavour, Creama and Aroma to compliment the Coconut Coffee Concept and YES, I have my secrets about how my beans are Roasted, how my Coffee is Brewed and how my Coconut is Blended to make it taste as amazing as it does and that is exactly what they are my SECRETS!!! :)
I have included resource links and video links further down this webpage, so that you too can see all the research, evidence and real stories I came across on the amazing benefits of Coconut Oil.
Why Us?
Here at Coconut Coffee, we have done a lot of research to bring you the best product available on the market.
Our product is only extracted from fresh organically grown coconuts with the least amount of processing so that the natural vitamin E, antioxidants and fresh coconut "essence" are retained.
Our product is not refined, deodorised or bleached.
It is free from pesticides, GMO's and hexane.
Do you know what Hexane is?
Our product has NO hexane!
As I have already mentioned there are many different extraction methods for food products.
- Hexane is used to extract edible oils from seeds and vegetables, as a special-use solvent, and as a cleaning agent.
The Following is an exert taken from the below link by the EPA:
"Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of humans to high levels of hexane causes mild central nervous system (CNS) effects, including dizziness, giddiness, slight nausea, and headache. Chronic (long-term) exposure to hexane in air is associated with polyneuropathy in humans, with numbness in the extremities, muscular weakness, blurred vision, headache, and fatigue observed. Neurotoxic effects have also been exhibited in rats. No information is available on the carcinogenic effects of hexane in humans or animals. EPA has classified hexane as a Group D, not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity
Please Note: The main source of information for this fact sheet is EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity of hexane and the Reference Concentration (RfC). Another secondary source used is the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR's) Toxicological Profile for Hexane.
Uses
The main use of hexane is as a solvent to extract edible oils from seed and vegetable crops (e.g., soybeans, peanuts, corn). (6)
Commercial grades of hexane are used as solvents for glues (rubber cement, adhesives), varnishes, and inks. (3,6)
Hexane is also used as a cleaning agent (degreaser) in the printing industry. (6)"
Again, Our product is extracted by Cold Press and contains NO Hexane!
Please see the following link for more information on Hexane.
Do you know why we package in glass
jars and not plastic ?
Bad chemicals leach out of plastics and can make us very sick, they change our hormones by replicating oestrogen and causing too much oestrogen in our bodies, this brings a wealth of problems, which I have had first hand experience with. Oestrogen dominance is an effect of too much oestrogen which causes fibroid tumours and is a precursor for Cancer.
Even Bpa-free plastic packaging is full of other toxic chemicals! The below article reflects how one chemical can be removed to make the plastic BPA-Free, however other chemicals are being used for the same purpose and come with their own downfalls and toxicity too.
That's why we use glass packaging, so no unhealthy chemicals can leach into our product. We want To keep you all as healthy as possible!!!
