Subject: coffee cherry face cream
|
The new crop on my coffee plant has been a little disappointing - my
first experience with the coffee cherry, I'm finding it to be more like
a rind than a cherry, a slightly sweet but sort of weedy tasting. The
coffee cherry wine idea that I had long cherished is definitely out.
But someone seems to have figured out what to do with them. Associated
Press article in this mornings paper touts a new face cream from Revale
Skin, with `coffeeberry extract.' Will be sold by dermatologists and
plastic surgeons.
`The coffeeberry has been tested to show higher levels of antioxidants
than pomegranate or white tea and it has high levels of polyphenols, which
are touted as a defense to cellular damage of the skin.
`Better yet, adds Wells, it protects from UVA and UVB rays -- fitting in
with that `don't-be-too-tanned' look [bronzers are out, we learn] and it
also provides significant hydration.'

Maybe the Mexican plantation that supplies the cherries does so because
it can't come close to matching (1) Vietnamese robusta's price, and (2)
Esmeralda's quality. You're safe ... for now :-)

Requests from the mainland are already starting to come in to see how we
can ship them cherry.
I wonder if they know that we prefer to sell it as roasted because the
profit is a bit higher? :)

Of course, it is against our State of Agriculture law to send any
fresh cherry to the mainland. they won't even let us take fresh
coffee cherry to the SCAA.
Think it is a fruit fly issue.
Darn.

Does that mean I am a fruit fly? After all, I wanted the husks to try
brewing Kishr (coffee tea).

Well if they are dry as in parchment, it ought to be okay. It's the
wet moist stuff that fruit flies and the face cream people want.
Did you ever write to a big miller to asks for their parchment husks?

Hi Cea,
I still intend to follow through with it. The holidays and work
kept me buried. But there was still plenty of sugar around to keep a
fruit fly happy.

Or maybe they underestimate their audience. There are references to
arabica and canephora on slide 7 (The World of Coffee-Growing Regions)
of this presentation:

Allure fits that description, but the companies keting the extract
also want us to eat it:
http://www.coffeeberry.org/taste.htm
Maybe I'll be stirring it into my coffee someday :-)

The article isn't very clear in this respect, but I think it's the same
plant based on a New Chapter press release:
http://www.new-chapter.com/media/press_releases/2006_03_20.html
Hopefully, non-arabica varieties are just as effective in this respect.

Hmm, thanks Felix. I do not see its scientific name anywhere in the
article. And skeptically:), maybe they might want to soft-link it
with coffee for the ease of advertising? I agree they do try to pedal
it as coffee related but then again the basic company seems just like
another sell-to-ladies-for-youth company.
Interesting. Thank you!

I read the same article and believe it is an entirely different plant.
People often want to make a coffee wine etc. but it never proves out.
We always have lots of cherry skins so that's why the idea keeps
popping up. Don't really work too hard on it:).

What about coffee cherry beer or using them only as a second
fermentation in making beer? Never tasted the actual coffee fruit
itself, does it have a lot of sugars in it? Good? Disgusting? I'm
curious if it's something you'd actually want to eat as a fruit or not.
