Coffee becomes a part of our daily life. People enjoy coffee from all over the world, from the morning to the evening. It becomes one of the most popular things in the world. When a coffee plant is trimmed or pruned, its stems, branches, and leaves are just thrown away.
Actually, the leaves can be turned into a delicious, clean-tasting tea that is low in caffeine and surprisingly high in polyphenols and antioxidants. Coffee leaves, after being roasted, can be grounded up or crumpled, then brewed or steeped in hot water in a form similar to tea. The resulting beverage is similar in taste to green tea, but with different notes such as vanilla, honey, floral and fruit. The drink is coppery-peach colored, bright, vibrant and has a high amount of sweetness and balance, but lacks tanginess.
Coffee leaves also act as an additional revenue stream for farmers and helps coffee farmers and promotes sustainable farming.
Coffee leaves are a very promising resource in the areas of food and industry, especially in the beverage industry.
