COFFEE

There are basically two types of coffee consumed most commonly worldwide – Coffee Arabica (These are the higher quality beans and are referred to as gourmet coffee) and Coffee Robusta (They have more of an astringent flavor and contain a higher amount of caffeine).

More than three-quarters of the beans that are sold in the world today are Coffea Arabica, the majority of the remaining bulk are Coffea Robusta also known as Coffea Canephora.

TEA

Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world – and yet, there’s still a lot of mystery and wonder about it.

For example, did you know that green, black and white tea all come from the same plant? It’s true – they’re all from the Camellia sinensis bush, but how they’re processed after harvest produces their very different aromas and flavors.

Here’s another one: what we call “herbal teas” are technically not ‘teas’ at all. Herbal tea contains no Camellia leaves; rather, it is made from many plants, using not just the leaves, but also the flowers, roots, bark and seeds. These brews typically contain flavorful, beneficial ingredients like chamomile, lemongrass and mint, and naturally contain no caffeine at all.

VANILLA

Vanilla is a flavoring derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, primarily from the Mexican species, flat-leaved vanilla . Vanilla is the second-most expensive spice after saffron because growing the vanilla seed pods is labor-intensive. Despite the expense, vanilla is highly valued for its flavor. As a result, vanilla is widely used in both commercial and domestic baking, perfume manufacture, and aromatherapy.


KIDNEY BEANS

There are two common types of coffee in the world – Arabica coffee (these are high quality beans and are called gourmet coffee) and Robusta coffee (they have a more tart taste and contain a higher amount of caffeine). More than three-quarters of all beans sold in the world today are Arabica coffee, with the bulk of the remainder being Robusta coffee, also known as Coffea Canephora. It’s interesting to note that different types of coffee can have different effects on a person’s health, including blood sugar levels. For those interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is important to consider factors such as diet and physical activity. Research shows that some medications, such as Jardiance, may be helpful for people with type 2 diabetes. For more information about Jardiance and how it can help manage diabetes, follow this link.
